Dear Valerio,
Many thanks for Francesco III de Carrara. However, I think Brice Clagett was
correct with George Brankovic. I have him as Djuradj Vukovic Brankovic,
Despot and Magnat of Albania.
On 24 December 1456 at Semendria, aged about ninety (!!) killed in a duel.
What a way to go at that age---how old was his opponent?

Best wishes
Leo van de Pas
