Francesco Tocco (died 16 August 1596) was the titular Despot of Epirus and Count Palatine of Cephalonia and Zakynthos from the death of his father Leonardo IV Tocco in 1564 to his own death in 1596.
His older brother Carlo predeceased Leonardo IV, which made Francesco the oldest surviving son and thus the heir to his father's claims.
[1] He was a patrician of Venice, and held the castle of Refrancore in Montferrat,[1] granted to his father by Constantine Arianiti, another pretender to lands in Greece.
[2] As an adult, Francesco worked as a soldier, serving as an infantry captain in the army of the Republic of Venice.
Veronica outlived Francesco by more than a decade, still attested as being alive as late as 1611.
