Mavrocordatos family
Mavrocordatos (also Mavrocordato, Mavrokordatos, Mavrocordat, Mavrogordato or Maurogordato; Greek: Μαυροκορδάτος) is the name of a family of Phanariot Greeks originally from Chios, a branch of which was distinguished in the history of the Ottoman Empire, Wallachia, Moldavia, and modern Greece.[1] The family – whose members were given a status equal to a Prince of the Holy Roman Empire and later became Hospodars – was founded by the late-Byzantine noble (and merchant) Nicholas Mavrocordatos (1522–1570) from the island of Chios. In 1875 Marvrocordato family members also became recognized as Princes of the Russian Empire by the Emperor Alexander II of Russia.

gollark: not really. can you explain more then?
gollark: But I think I would at least want to ask whoever found an exploit if I managed to fix it or if it's still there.
gollark: Oh well. I haven't received any vulnerability reports for osmarks.tk so I can't really say what I actually did in instances of it - probably because nobody cares more than any actual good security practice on my part - so I can't really point to historical examples of what I did.
gollark: Nobody does *not* really seem to do that.
gollark: If you find some flaw with osmarks.tk™ or something, I would want you to directly report it in a sensible way so I can patch it, and stop meddling with it if I felt you were doing too much stuff.
