Centurione I Zaccaria
Centurione I Zaccaria[1] was a powerful noble in the Principality of Achaea in Frankish Greece. In 1345 he succeeded his father, Martino Zaccaria, as baron of Damala and lord of one half of the Barony of Chalandritsa, and in 1359 he acquired the other half. In about 1370 he was named Grand Constable of Achaea and received also the Barony of Estamira. He also thrice held the post of bailli (viceroy) for the principality's Angevin rulers.
As evidenced by his son Andronikos inheriting his titles, he died before 1386,[1] during his third bailliage.
By his marriage to Helene Asenina, daughter of Andronikos Asen the Byzantine epitropos of Morea, he had the following children:
- Andronikos Asano de Damala,[2][3] Baron of Chalandritsa and Arcadia, father of Centurione II Zaccaria, Prince of Achaea in 1404–1432.[1]
- Filippo Zaccaria, married the heiress of Rhiolo in Morea.
- Martino Zaccaria, known only from his participation in the Battle of Gardiki in 1375.[4]
- Manuele Zaccaria, married Eliana Cattaneo.
- Maria II Zaccaria, married Pedro de San Superano, Prince of Achaea in 1396–1402; regent of Achaea in 1402–1404.[1]
