Petar Span or Peter Spani was 15th century nobleman from Albania who controlled a territory between Shkoder and Drivast and highlander clans Pulati, Shala and Shoshi. He was one of the members of the League of Lezhë.

Family

edit

Petar Span was a member of Span family of a Greek origin.[1][2][3] The name of the family is derived from the Greek word spanos (Greek: σπανός) which means beardless.[4]

There are several different notable Spans of 14th century not necessarily mutually related.[5] At the beginning of 15th century most notable members of Span family were Marin and his son Petar.[6]

Peter Span

edit

Peter's father Marin is mentioned in 1409 as already dead.[7] According to Marin Barleti, Petar Span (to whom he refer to as Spanish) had four sons: Aleksa, Božidar, Uroš and Mirko.[8]

When Radič Humoj, a member of Humoj family, rebelled against Venetians Peter Span requested from Venetian Senate to give him a control over Radič's fortress Petra.[9]

Andrea Marcello, a Venetian governor of Drivast, gave village Carpeneto to Peter Span because of his merits during the first Venetian war against Balša III. Later he made decision to take Carpeneto away from Peter and to give it to Stefan Jonima, who was an outlaw. Although Peter Span accepted this decision Venetian Senate rejected it and returned Carpeneto to Petar Span on 21 June 1415. Besides Carpeneto his pronoia included villages Brex and Curtis near Drivast and village Dobrea near Scutari.[10]

The highest Venetian institutions fulfilled any request of Peter Span.[11]

Radič II Humoj married a daughter of Petar Span in 1433 and became pronoier of village Serel in Bar district.[12]

Aleksa Span

edit

Aleksa Span was one of the voivodas of the biggest town in Serbian Despotate, Novo Brdo in 1454.[13] Aleksa had seven children: Marco, Biasio, Lucia, Demetria, Angela, Andriana and Alessandro.[14]

Božidar Span

edit

The territory of pronoia of Petar and Božidar Span was on the left side of river Kiri, toward the mountains.[15]

In February 1447 Drivast commune requested from the Senate to return to them control over four villages (Precali, Vugi, Logi and Mossi), then part of pronoia of Božidar Span. Senate refused their demand although they had appropriate documents proving that those villages belong to the commune, justifying its decision with existing circumstances.[16]

Other Spans

edit

Helen Span was the mother of Alessio Span.LINK

Andrew (Andrija) Span earned the support of his Venetian lords during the conflict between Balša III and Venetian Republic.[17]

Nikola Span was a member of branch of Span family which had pronoia in Shkoder.[18]

Since he did not have any sons, Petar emphasized in 1415 that he will be inherited by his nephew Marin, a son of his brother Brajko.[19]

Petar's father was Nikša Span from Drivast who also had a daughter Dominika.[20]

After Ottoman conquest of all territory of Albania at the end of 15th century members of Span family disappeared from the territory of Northern Albania.[21]

Among the Spans from Durres there was also Dominik Span mentioned as being city nobleman in 1430 whose son was Perin.[22] In the notes of Ragusan merchant there is record of Dmiter Span.[23]

Jovan Span has been killed by Mrkojevići (commanded by Delfino) when they entered Spani village, captured Jovan's son and robbed his house.[24]

Biography

edit

Petar Span was Stefan's epitropos in Ulcinj.[25]

Petar Span was loyal to Serbian Despot and when he lost the control over Drivast to Venice, Petar Span also lost the control over his possessions.

In period from April to the end of July 1441 Petar Span visited Dubrovnik where he put into treasure his silver coins and silver items on 21 July 1441.[26]

He attended a meeting of noblemen from Albania held in Lezhë in March 1444 when they allied themselves into a League of Lezhë.[27]

Alongside with Spani family, the Dushmani family was against the war with Venice (1447–1448) and did not participate in it.

After Alfonso V, the king of Naples, signed the Treaty of Gaeta with Skanderbeg on March 26, 1451, he signed similar treaties with other chieftains from Albania including Petar Span.[28]
