The House of Zaccaria-Damalà or commonly Damalas (pl. Damalas; Italian: Damalà, Greek: Δαμαλάς, pl. Δαμαλάδες, female version Damala; Greek: Δαμαλά) is a Genoese-Byzantine noble House established in the 14th century;[1] with roots originating from the island of Chios during the first Genoese occupation.[2] Created as a result of intermarriages among the Imperial House of Palaiologos with the Genoese noble House of Zaccaria.[3][4][5]

There is also an unrelated Byzantine family named Damalas/Damalis, which is seen as early as 1230 in the Thracesian Theme of the Eastern Roman Empire. Descendants of this unrelated family were also settled in Chios as well as Kos.[6]

Damalà as a title

The Zaccaria use of "Damalà" as a title begins with Martino Zaccaria, then Lord of Chios and the surrounding Aegean, receiving the Barony of Damala in 1315.[7] Martino had two sons, Bartolomeo and Centurione. Bartolomeo died in 1334, leading Centurione to inherit his older brother's title of "Seigneur de Damala"; which he held since 1317.[8] He was also given control of his father's other possessions in Morea sometime during Martino's imprisonment. This began the dynastic struggle of the local baronies on the death of Philip of Taranto.

In thirteenth and fourteenth century France, a Baron was a lower member of the nobility. In the Principality of Achaea however, Barons were high lords. As such, they held their authority directly from the Prince and the principality consisted of twelve large baronies.

By supporting Roberto, son of Filippo, Centurione obtained the recognition of his sovereignty and the confirmation of his rights; violated several times in the past by the Angioni princes. His father Martino had continued the system of alliances through the marriages of his own children. Bartolomeo married Guglielma Pallavicino, who had brought the Marquisate of Bodonitsa as a dowry. Centurione married the daughter of the Epitropos of Morea, Andronikos Asen, son of Bulgarian Tsar Ivan Asen III and Irene Palaiogina.[9] This marriage linked the Zaccaria to the Imperial house of Bulgaria and strengthened the relation to the Palaiologoi over the marriage of his great-grandfather, Benedetto. It ultimately consolidated the aims of the family as a princely dynasty.[10]

After spending eight years in captivity for defying the emperor, Martino was released from his imprisonment. This was only permissible upon the condition that he swear an oath to remain in Genoa; through the intervention of Pope Benedict XII and Philip VI of France in 1337. He swore to never again, by word or deed, oppose the empire. He was treated favorably by the emperor, whom gave him the military command of "Protokomes of Chios", as well as a few castles as compensation for his losses. This command would be succeeded by his second son Centurione.[11][12]

The Zaccaria gained imperial favor once again, with Martino fighting to retake coastal lands of Anatolia; but this crusade ended with his demise in 1345. Upon his father's death, Centurione officially inherited the barony of Chalandritsa, the command of Protocomes of Chios, and the fortresses of Stamira and Lysaria; which he later strengthened with the marriage of his son Andronikos with the only daughter of the powerful baron of Arcadia and Saint-Sauveur, Erard III Le Maure.

The Quintet ruling houses of Chios during the 14th century Byzantine repossecion.

These improved relations with the Byzantines were cultivated by Centurione, with his return to Chios as Protocome. He reclaimed his paternal estates and jointly exploited the lands of Chios and Phocea with a few Genoese nobles whom the emperor had entrusted. These were the Ziffo, Corressi, Argenti, Agelasto.[13][14]

The Genoese repossession of Chios

Imperial rule in Chios was brief. In 1346, a chartered company controlled by the Giustiniani called "Maona di Chio e di Focea", was set up in Genoa to reconquer and exploit Chios and the neighboring town of Phocaea in Asia Minor. Although the inhabitants firmly rejected an initial offer of protection, the island was invaded by a Genoese fleet; led by Simone Vignoso the castle was besieged.

Centurione did not wait for the arrival of the diplomats, sent by the Empress Anna in order to negotiate with those under Admiral Vignoso. He mounted a resistance to the siege, however after several months, had to surrender the island to prevent starvation as a result of their naval blockade; though he did not sign a capitulation. Prior to the surrender being formalized, drafted by I.N. of Agios Nikolaos, he escaped with a few of his sailors and headed for Byzantine territory in New Phocaea; in order to organize an operation to retake the island of Chios. The Byzantine defenders surrendered though on 12 September 1346.

Two treaties were drafted, the first treaty regarding the surrender of Chios, included an amnesty to the Zaccaria family. However when Centurione did not return to Chios, Vignoso sailed to New Phocaea and eventually achieved its surrender. Thus a second treaty was signed, where the Admiral revoked amnesty for Centurione and his family. It forbade them from residing, owning property or interfering in the governance of Chios or Phocaea. While Centurione resigned, the rest of Chios was given favorable terms. All the privileges granted by chrysobulls of Byzantine emperors, as well as the religious freedom of Orthodox Christians in Chios. Centurione is recorded as "Protocomes Damala" in this treaty.

From here Centurione lived both in Damala of Morea and Damala of Galata; where in 1352 he signed as a witness "the first among the latins" to the treaty with Emperor John VI Kantakouzenos.[15]

History leading to the adoption of the title as a surname

Centurione and his descendants ruled his father's possessions in Morea after their expulsion from Chios. After Centurione, the barony of Damala seems to be lost to the Byzantines as neither his son or grandson inherited it. Notably, his oldest son is recorded as "Andronikos Asano de Damala".[16] This is the first reference of Damala not being used as a title, but as an extension of the surname.[17][18]

It is well documented what became of Andronikos and his descendants, as well as his sister Maria who married the Prince of Achaea, Pedro de San Superano. However, there are less sources for his presumed three brothers: Filippo, Manuele and Martino.[19] It is possible that Martino could have been the same person as Manuele as he does not appear in most genealogical records; he is known only from his participation in the Battle of Gardiki in 1375.[20] Filippo and Manuele are documented through their marriages to prominent women of the time.

Andronikos had four children: Centurione II, Stefano, Erardo IV (died young) and Benedetto. Centurione being the eldest, inherited his father's titles and eventually reached the height of Prince of Achaea.[21] Through this much elevated rank he is recorded as "Centurione II Zaccaria" in historical accounts.

Centurione first married an unknown lady of the prestigious Asen Palaiologos family, that we witness on the Chronicle of Toccos recorded as "the princess" in more than one occasion.[22] From the union Centurione had at least four children: John Asen Zaccaria, Catherine Zaccaria, Martino[23] and another unknown princess that he offered as a bride to the adventurer Oliver Franco in 1418, after this one seized the great port-city of Glarentsa.[24] Due to Centurione's defeat in 1430, he conceded to marrying Catherine to Thomas Palaiologos; brother and heir to the last emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Constantine XI Palaiologos.

Sometime around 1446, his son John (Giovanni) rose against the Despot Constantine Palaiologos, the future and last Emperor of the eastern Roman empire. Upon his uprising, he was proclaimed Prince of Achaea by Greek magnates and had the eagle as his emblem with the city of Aetos as his seat. Within a year, Giovanni was defeated by the combined forces of then despots Constantine and Thomas Palaiologos. He was then imprisoned with his eldest son Antonio[25] and wife Magdalene[26] by Thomas in Chlemoutsi castle, leaving these dangerous remnants of the previous dynasty to waste away.[27][28]

Giovanni nor his son died there as anticipated, and instead in 1453 convinced their guard to release them during a widespread revolt against the Despots. He was congratulated and recognized by many western rulers, namely Pope Paul II, King Alfonso V of Naples, and the Venetian Doge Francesco Foscari; titling him "Centurione III Asen Zaccaria". The confirmation of his princely title by Naples was of great significance as the Kingdom of Naples was the feudal overlord of the Principality of Achaea since 1267 and the Treaty of Viterbo between Charles I of Anjou and William II of Villehardouin.[29] After his escape, Giovanni gained the support of many Latins, Greeks and Albanians and besieged Thomas inside the city of Patras. Eventually he was defeated by the Turkish troops of Turahan Bey that Thomas called to his aid.[30][31][32]

Giovanni escaped capture and found refuge with the Venetians in Methoni, where he remained for a period of roughly 3 years. In 1456, he retired under King Alfonso of Naples and received an annuity from Venice; he lost this though when he relocated to Genoa in 1459. There the Doge wrote him a letter of recommendation to Pope Paul II for support. In September 1461 after moving to Rome, the Pope granted him a monthly pension of twenty florins as the Prince of Morea (Achaea) until his death in 1469.[33][34]

Start of Damalà as a surname

The precise descendance from Zaccaria to strictly Damalà comes from the line of Giovanni's eldest son, Antonio. By the time of Giovanni's imprisonment only four members of the family remained: Giovanni, his two sons, and his sister Catherine. His eldest son Antonio was imprisoned with him at the Chlemoutsi Castle, while his younger son Angelo is seen in Galata during the siege of Constantinople in 1453.

Agnatic descendants of Martino Zaccaria de Chios e Damalà based on the research of Michele Soulli, AGP accredited genealogist, 2023.

There is no record of Angelo having progeny, however Antonio had a son named Pietro Antonio that is recorded with his father regarding the church of St. Paul in Galata which was on land the family owned. Pietro's line died out within two subsequent generations while the line of Pietro's brother Giovanni—named after his grandfather—is the line that continues to this day. The definite transition that drops the territorial designation of "de" to simply "Damalà", is recorded in the late 15th century when his son Antonio Damalà (1498-1578) is given a fief by the Duke of Naxos, John IV Crispo; this was the establishment of a feudal relationship between the two and to this day the village is named Damalas. The father of Antonio is recorded as "Zaccaria de Damala", who is now known to be Giovanni through catholic baptismal records regarding his grandchildren that are archived on the island of Tinos. With this, Antonio becomes the first recorded Latin Damalà.

Antonio played an important role in preventing the conquest of Naxos by the Turks. Giacomo IV Crispo, whom succeeded his father John after his death, sent Antonio to Constantinople in 1564 as ambassador to ask for the Sultan's mercy in order to recognize him. This is something that Antonio seems to have achieved, as the relevant firman was issued on 29 April 1565.[35]

When in Constantinople, Antonio had becomes friends with the Sultan's son-in-law, Grand Admiral Piali Pasha. For this reason, when Piali Pasha occupied Chios in 1566, he invited him to settle there and at the same time gave him his ancestral estates that the Maona took from the Zaccaria.[36] Upon arriving in Chios Antonio took over lands in Volissos, Kardamyla, Delfini, Lagkada, Kalamoti, Kampos and the Dafnonas tower. After 1566, Antonio lived in the tower where he also owned the "Stratigato" and the "Damalà" estates, whose churches he renovated. These churches were Panagia Coronata and Sotira.[37] These two churches, fortified towers, and manor house were all severely damaged during the 1822 massacre of Chios and subsequently damaged further by the earthquake of 1881. To this day there is an area of Dafnonas called "τού Δαμαλά" (belonging to Damalà) at the "Stratigato".[38]

Starting with Antonio, the Genoese-Greek Damalades appear in the genealogical records of Chios all bearing the surname "Damalà"; eventually being hellenized to "Damalas" through intermarrying with the Chiot nobility. They are recorded as one of the remaining noble houses of Genoese origin by Giovanni Battista de Burgo during his late 17th century visit of the island.[39][40]

It is important to note, that during this time it was common for servants to adopt the name of their lord. Therefore, there must be a distinguishment between the modern day descendants of these servants and the actual family that are patrilineal descendants of the Zaccaria.[41] There are also the descendants of the older Byzantine Damalas family which complicates matters further. In response, author and historian Dimitri Lainas conducted a study in 2006. This compiled the family tree of the descendants of the noble Damalades and it was published in Pelinnaeo Magazine.

Church of the Holy Apostles

Fresco of the founders, 1665. Symeon Damalas and family hold up an effigy of the Church. Above the church's dome "ΔΑΜΑ ΛΑΔΕC" is written in medieval Greek. Which translates to "ΔΑΜΑΛΑΔΕΣ" (DAMALAS plural) in modern Greek.

The Church of the Holy Apostles is a late Byzantine church located in Pyrgi, the largest medieval village of Chios. It is one of the best preserved examples of Byzantine architecture in Greece. The church originally existed as one of the personal shrines of the Damalas family, from which it is believed Pyrgi was built around. In the late Byzantine period, population centers began around churches with a tower and manor house.[42] As such, the church is situated just northeast of the village's main square.

Holy Apostles is a small reproduction of the katholicon (main church) of Nea Moni, being richly decorated outside with brick patterns. The interior is completely covered with frescoes painted by Antonios Kenygos of Crete, in 1665. An inscription over the main entrance of the church tells us that monk Symeon of the Damalas family, who eventually became the metropolitan bishop of Chios, raised the church "from its foundations" in 1564.[43] This most likely refers to an extensive renovation, since its architectural and morphological features indicate that it was constructed in the middle of the 14th century.

It is likely that the original church was destroyed in one of the great earthquakes of 1546, and thus 18 years later, Symeon came to it in ruins. Under the property law at the time, it would have belonged to his family and would have been his obligation to rebuild it.[44]

The manor house and fortified tower that accompanied the church were destroyed like many structures in the 1881 Chios earthquake.

Massacre of Chios in 1822

The Massacre at Chios by Eugène Delacroix. This, and the works of Lord Byron, did much to draw the attention of mainland Europe to the catastrophe that had taken place in Chios (1824, oil on canvas, 419 cm × 354 cm (165 in × 139 in), Musée du Louvre, Paris).

The Damalas abruptly lost their favorable position during the 1822 massacre, along with the other noble Houses. Ioannis Zanni Damalà, who was the governor of the island, was beheaded in the capitol of Chios. There was also irreparable damage done to centuries old estates.

After a roughly 50-year period of recovery, they would again produce notable figures. Such as the shipping magnate and twice mayor Ambrosios Ioannou Damalas and the mayor of Chios from 1878 to 1882 Ioannis Zanni Damalas standing out in history.[45][46]

House of Damalas in modern day

The Damalas Foundation, Piraeus, Greece

The noble House remains one of the most prominent in Chios; being attested by all Chios historians of the past, including more recent figures such as Konstantinos Amantos and Nikos Perris.[47]

While the members are few, the Damalas have made efforts in recent years to regain former notoriety. In 2012, Anastasia Damala formed the philanthropic Damalas Foundation which hosts intellectual seminars on the sciences, philosophy, current events and history. These events are held in an 8-story building located in Piraeus which houses a library, museum, chapel, several offices and 2 conference halls.[48]

The foundation also has operations in Chios, within one of their ancestral homes, directly across from Kamenos Pyrgos. Notably, this home is on land that has been held since their Zaccaria ancestors acquired it and constructed Kamenos Pyrgos.[49][50]

In 2023 the genealogist Michele Soulli conducted a genealogy research about the Agnatic descendants of Martino Zaccaria de Chios e Damalà, the first and historic head of the Zaccaria de Damalà branch of the family that took hold in the Principality of Achaea after his marriage to Jacqueline de la Roche. As per Salic Law, which has been observed to the family's defacto law of succession in Achaea and later,[51] the senior line male descendant of Martino is the current legitimate head of the House. According to the aforementioned research this leads to Constantine Damalas (b.1992).[52]
