 Mani History 4
The first President of Greece, Ioannis Kapodistrias, angered the Mavromichalis clan, especially when he denied the Maniat Kapetani the right to collect customs duties at their ports, and imposed a government tax on them.
This action subdued the revolt and a delegation was sent to Mani to negotiate peace with the clan and persuade the eastern Maniats, who were preparing for a war with the clan, to remain where they were and not to attack.
However, the Mavromichalis clan were still not satisfied, especially as Petrobey was still being held prisoner, and so Kapodistrias was assassinated at Nafplio in September 1831 by Georgios and Konstantinos Mavromichalis, the son and brother of Petros, who were subsequently executed for this crime.
