Who was Jacopo Gattilusio?
Jacopo Gattilusio was the third Lord of Lesbos. He was the eldest son of Francesco II of Lesbos, whom he succeeded as lord of the island on 26 October 1404.
William Miller summarized Jacopo's motivation as a semi-autonomous ruler was to favor Genoese interests when they conflicted with Venetian, but to cooperate with both when they showed signs of uniting against his neighbors, the Ottomans. For example, he aided Centurione II Zaccaria, Prince of Achaea against the Tocchi of Cephalonia and Zante.
He had no sons, so on his death he was succeeded by his younger brother Dorino I Gattilusio.
