Giovanni Demetrio Angeli (
History
Giovanni Demetrio was born in 1499,
Although no contemporary evidence survives for Giovanni Demetrio claiming any noble titles,[8] he is accorded various titles in later texts published by his family, such as "Prince of Achaea and Macedonia"[1] and "Prince of Cilicia".[8] He was also considered by his later relatives to have been a Grand Master of the Constantinian Order, together with Andrea,[1] but on account of the lack of evidence he is typically not counted as such in modern accounts of the order.[8]
Giovanni Demetrio married a woman described as of the Venetian noble family "Franceschina" and as a "daughter of Bartolomeo Magna"; her name might thus have been Franceschina Magna.[9] The couple had a single son, Pietro Angeli,[10] born in 1526.[1] Upon the death of Giovanni Demetrio's brother Andrea in 1580, Andrea named Pietro as his heir as Grand Master "by reason of primogeniture".[9]
