Venice was a dependency of the Byzantine Empire when it gained control of Italy. This continued after the Byzantines lost northern Italy because of the Lombard invasion and survived the takeover of Italy by the Franks. This kept Venice separate from the Holy Roman Empire and kept her linked to Constantinople, even though she gradually gained effective independence.

The first crusade, which was fought to help the Byzantines, and where Venice and the other Italian sea republics supplied the navy, increased commercial ties with the Byzantine Empire. Venice was the prime trading link between Constantinople and Western Europe.
