The Doges of Venice

The word doge comes from the Latin dux; the title used for provincial governors within the Byzantine empire. Elected by the Maggior Consiglio (Great Council), the plenary council of the Venetian nobility, and watched over by his six councillors, the doge was a sort of father-figure of the Venetian state. 

A doge can easily be distinguished by his corno ducale (aka corno dogale or zoggia), a stiff horn-like hat, which was worn over a white cap (cuffia) made of the finest linen.
