Maurikios 15 was a son of Ioannes 515; he was associated with his father's title of dux of Venetia in the eighteenth year of his father's period of office: John the Deacon, Cron. Ven., p. 99. In the twenty third year of his father's period of office he was sent by him with a fleet to Grado to kill the patriarch Ioannes 516; he had the patriarch put to death: John the Deacon, Cron. Ven., p. 100. After this a conspiracy was formed against the duces Maurikios 15 and Ioannes 515 by Fortunatus (Phortounatos 2), Obelerios 1 and others (see Demetrios 38, Felix 17 and Marinianos 2) and Obelerios 1 was proclaimed dux; Maurikios 15 and Ioannes 515 then fled, the former to Francia, the latter to Mantua; Maurikios 15 lived in exile until his death, never returning to Venetia: John the Deacon, Cron. Ven., p. 101.
