Theodore Bua

Theodor Bua was a 15th-century Albanian military commander who served as a captain of the stradioti regiments of the Republic of Venice.[1]

Biography

After the Venetian-Ottoman peace treaty of 1479, that gave to the Ottomans the last free part of Albania, areas of Peloponnesus and Dalmatia (Albania Veneta), Theodore Bua defected from the Venetian army and joined the rebellion of Krokodeilos Kladas in the Morea.[2][1] In his Dispacci al Senato e ad Altri, Bartolomeo Minio describes an incident in which the Venetian commander of Nafplio sent an Albanian contingent against him and Meksha Buziqi but the soldiers refused to attack them because of their kinship ties and compatriotism.[3] The rebellion ultimately failed after the two commanders broke their alliance.[1] Afterwards, Bua returned to Venetian territory but was jailed in Monemvasia.[1][4]

gollark: Oh, oops, I got the lever direction mixed up, sorry. I meant that if you left it trapped then it wouldn't have reason to torture you.
gollark: And you can verify that.
gollark: Unless it can somehow precommit to torturing the simulations.
gollark: If it values suffering for its own sake it might as well do it anyway, but I don't think doing the torturing would advance other goals.
gollark: If you ~~*do* pull it~~ leave it contained, I don't think it has any actual reason to torture the simulation, since you can't verify if it's doing so or not and it would only be worth doing at all if it plans to try and coerce you/other people later.
