... that the Genoese admiral Simone Vignoso conquered the island of Chios and founded a joint-stock company to rule it? Source: Setton 1976, p. 207 (note 66): "The text of the first pact , dated 26 February , 1347 , between the Genoese government and the Mahona ( or joint - stock company ) formed by Vignoso and his partners to exploit Chios...."
- ALT1: ... that when the Genoese admiral Simone Vignoso learned that Humbert II of Viennois intended to seize Chios, he attacked Humbert's fleet and then proceeded to capture Chios himself? Source: Balard 2016, p. 119: "In June 1346, Simone Vignoso's fleet made a stop at Negroponte, where it encountered vessels of the Pontifical League, under the command of Humbert, Dauphin of Viennois. The Genoese admiral refused the offers of co-operation; by virtue of his naval superiority, he robbed the dauphin's crews and quickly set sail for Chios, in order to get there before the League forces."
