Mavrogheni

In 1715 two brothers, Petros and Stefanos, bought large lands in Paros and rebuilt the island's church.

The highlight of the family fortune culminated with the appointment of Nikolaos Mavrogenis as the ruling Prince of Wallachia, since he had previously served as Dragoman of the fleet.

The prominent path of the family was continued by other members, such as Stefanos Mavrogenis, nephew of Nikolaos, who served as Grand Logothete of the Patriarchate.

Such were Alexandros Mavrogenis the ambassador of Turkey (Stephanos' nephew), Spyridon's son, the sultan's arch-physician, etc.

In the Greek revolution, the Mavrogenis family was glorified once again thanks to the contribution of Manto Mavrogenous (Stephanos' niece), who donated all her wealth for the struggle.
