Bartolomeo Zaccaria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bartolomeo or Bartolommeo Zaccaria (died 1334) was the first husband of Guglielma Pallavicini (married 1327) and thus Margrave of Bodonitsa in her right. He also carried the title Lord of Damala during his lifetime.
As the eldest son of "King" Martin, born into the Genoese Zaccaria family which lorded it over Chios, Bartolomeo was a fitting match for the highborn Frankish heiress, who co-ruled with her mother, Maria dalle Carceri, and stepfather, Andrea Cornaro. As a youth, he was forced to help raise a ransom for his captured father.
During a Catalan invasion, Bartolomeo was captured and carted off to a Sicilian prison. Only by the beseeching of Pope John XXII was he released.
He was still young when he died, though he left a daughter named Marulla.
