Thessaly was generally peaceful, but did see the occasional conflict. Thus in 1570 the Venetians raided the region of Fenarbekir (Fanari), and failed Greek uprisings occurred &lt;a href="Thessaly%20Rebellion%20%281600%29"&gt;in 1600/1&lt;/a&gt; and 1612, the first under Dionysius the Philosopher, the metropolitan bishop of Yenişehir i-Fenari (Larissa), and the second at the instigation of the Duke of Nevers, who claimed the Byzantine throne. The local Greeks also rose up in various areas during the Morean War of 1684–1699, and again during the Orlov Revolt of 1770, but these insurrections were swiftly suppressed.
