Leonardo III Tocco
Leonardo III Tocco was the last Tocco ruler of the County Palatine of Cephalonia and Zakynthos and titular despot of Epirus, from 1448. He lost his remaining mainland territories to the Ottomans, and in 1479 Ottoman forces took Cephalonia, Zakynthos and Lefkada, forcing him to flee to Italy. He spent his last years in Naples and Rome, while Venice later took the islands.
