 Faliero - LoveToKnow 1911
FALIERO (or [[Falter), Marino]] (1279-1355), doge of Venice, belonged to one of the oldest and most illustrious Venetian families and had served the republic with distinction in various capacities.
The constitutional restrictions of the ducal power, which had been further curtailed just before his election, and the insolence of the nobility aroused in him a desire to free himself from all control, and the discontent of the arsenal hands at their treatment by the nobles offered him his opportunity.
The motives of Faliero are not altogether clear, as his past record, even in the judgment of the poet Petrarch, showed him as a wise, clear-headed man of no unusual ambition.

 NPR World Of Opera
In fact, Faliero's story was such an operatic "natural," that Donizetti didn't have to change much.
He just confirmed that the bad-guy, Steno, actually did insult Faliero's wife, and that the insult was, indeed, a public accusation that she was fooling around on the Doge.
And, to add an unusual twist, it's the cuckolded husband, Faliero, who winds up dead by the end of the opera -- beheaded by the Council -- while the unfaithful wife survives all the way to the final curtain.
