 | | Doria, originally de Auria, from de filiis Auriae, the sons of Auria, and then de Oria or d'Oria, is the name of an old Genoese family whose history is indistiguishable from that of the Republic of Genoa from the 12th century to the 16th century. |
 | | Simone Doria lived in the late 12th century and was an admiral of the Genoese in the crusader's assault against St John of Acre. |
 | | Doria ordered his nephew Fiippino, who was then blockading Naples in alliance with a French army, to withdraw; Doria then sailed for Genoa where, with the help of some leading citizens, he expelled the French and re-established the republic under imperial protection. |
