Armenis (Greek: Αρμένης, Armēnēs), in Italian and older English literature Armeni, is a Greek family from Corfu. The Armeni family is an ancient Byzantine-, and later Greco-Venetiangens that produced many important individuals in the history of Europe. With origins in Byzantium, the family achieved levels of wealth and prominence over the centuries in branches found across the territories of modern Greece and Italy. The Armeni are listed in numerous registers of nobility, including Teatro della Nobiltà dell'Europa, ovvero notizia delle famiglie nobili, che in Europa vivono di presente, e che in lei vissero prima (1725),[1]Origine de' cognomi gentilizi nel Regno di Napoli (1756),[2]Dictionnaire Historique et Généalogique des Grandes Familles de Grèce, d'Albanie et de Constantinople (1983),[3]Livre d'Or de la Noblesse Ionienne (1925),[4] and La Dalmazia Giornale Letterario Economico Inteso Agli Interessi Della Provincia, Volume 2 (1846),[5] among others.
Thus, [ Nikephoros Phokas ] subdued and ransacked the whole island, which for 142 years had been occupied and lorded by barbarians, and he had it settled and left in the form of a colony, for its greater security, under noble families originally from Constantinople [nobili Costantinopolitani] of the Màggiori and of the Senatorial order, namely: the Armeni; the Caleteri; the Anatolici, also called Cortezzi; the Cargenti, that is, Saturnini; the Vespesiani, also called Melissini; [...] the Sutili; the Papiliani, also called Vlasti; the Romuli, also called Claudi; the Aliotti, also called Scordilli; the Colonessi, also called Coloini; the Irtini, also called Arculendi; and the Phoca, of the same blood of the Phoca from whom the noble house of Calergi originated.[7]
According to Trivan (1644) the Armeni family belonged to the bourgeoisie that encompassed the noble class descended from the twelve Senatorial Houses of Constantinople and those noble Venetian families whose titles had lapsed, all citizens of Crete, most of whom were from the original inhabitants of the Metropolitan city of Heraklion.[8]
County of Avellino
The Angevins ruled Corfu from 1267 to 1386.[9]Charles I d'Anjou imposed a new form of rule on Corfu. He appointed a Regent as his representative, and divided the island into four administrative regions. The administrator of each region was called the Bailo and the large estates, the “feuds” (timária), were ceded to barons from Provence and Italy.[10]
Trivan (1644) listed the Armeni family in the city of Chania as members of the bourgeoisie and added that the name was also written as Armuri (Armeri from d'Armer, also Darmer[18]).[8] Trivan (1644) lists the Darmer family of the same city [Chania] separately as a Venetian noble house with a footnote stating that the Armeni name is also noted as Armuri in the original text. Another example of this practice can be found in the Cretanaristocratic family Kallergis known to have descended from the Phokas family on Crete.
On the island of Corfu in 1406 C.E. the barony of the count of Martina (Baronia del Conte de Martina) belonged to Vito Darmer who established the settlement of Armenades.[22] The Armer on Corfu belonged to the new noble class of Venice. Aloysius Armenus,[23][24] also known as Luigi Armeno[25] and Alvise Darmer, was the Provveditore (1502) and the Bailo of Corfu (1512).[26] In 1499 C.E. his brother Albano Armenio died bravely during the naval battle of Zochio against the Ottomans.[27] The naval battle of Zochio is noted as the first naval battle in history where gunpowder determined the outcome of the naval battle.[28] His warship was named the Santa Barbara, who would later become the patron saint of artillery.[29]
