A rented roof collapsing on him ended a mainland dynasty
This episode explores the life of Leonardo III Tocco, the final Latin ruler with territories on the Greek mainland, whose reign began in childhood and ended in obscurity. It delves into the complex decisions and betrayals that shaped his time as the Despot of Epirus.
Person: Leonardo III Tocco
Period: 1492-1503
Location: Rome
Despot of Epirus
Reign: 31 years
- Leonardo III Tocco inherited his domain as a minor child, born after 1436, making him at most eleven years old when his father died in 1448.
- His father, Carlo II Tocco, appointed four regents to govern in Leonardo's name: Jacobus Rosso, Andreas de Guido de Strione, Gaeatius de Santa Columba, and Marinus Miliares.
- Six months into Leonardo's reign, on March 24, 1449, the ancestral capital of Arta fell to the Ottoman Turks, reducing the Despotate of Epirus to islands and a few fortresses.
- Upon reaching adulthood, Leonardo had all four of his regents killed, a fact noted by Byzantine chronicler George Sphrantzes without elaboration.
- Leonardo's strategy to survive between powerful neighbors was to make himself indispensable, offering Venice military intelligence and sheltering Christian refugees during the Ottoman wars.
