  • John George Heracleus Basilicos (fl. 1566–1606) was a mercenary and pretender, mainly active in Italy in the late 16th century and early 17th century. Heracleus claimed to be a descendant of the Roman emperor Heraclius (r. 610–641) and through a varying assortment of titles claimed to be the legitimate ruler of the Peloponnese, Macedonia, Moldavia, Wallachia and Albania. Until 1593, he also claimed to be the Grand Master of the Constantinian Order of Saint George, in opposition to the legitimate grand masters Andrea, Pietro and Giovanni Andrea I Angeli. Heracleus' origins are not clear, given that no surviving documents specify his native land. His name evoked intentional similarities to the Moldavian prince Iacob Heraclid, who was born under the name Basilicò, originally a Greek adventurer. Depending on the document, Heracleus claimed that Heraclid was either his uncle or his brother. Heracleus may have had some connections to the Peloponnese in Greece, since this region was consistently brought up in his claimed titles. (en)
