DEMETRIOS YPSILANTI (17931832)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 942 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DAH-DEM
DEMETRIOS YPSILANTI (17931832) , second son of Prince
Constantine
 , distinguished himself as a Russian officer in the campaign of 1814, and in the
spring
  of 1821 went to the Morea, where the war of Greek independence had just broken out. He was one of the most conspicuous of the Phanariot leaders during the earlier stages of the revolt, though he was much hampered by the local chiefs and by the civilian
element
  headed by
Mavrocordato
 . In January 1822 he was elected president of the legislative assembly; but the ill-success of his campaign in central
Greece
 , and his failure to obtain a commanding position in the national convention of Astros, led to his retirement early in 1823. In 1828 he was appointed by Capo d'Istria
commander
  of the troops in
East
  Hellas. He succeeded, on the 25th of September 1829, in forcing the Turkish
commander
  Asian Bey to sign a capitulation at the Pass of
Petra
 , which ended the active operations of the war. He died at Vienna on the 3rd of January 1832.
Gregory Ypsilanti (d. 1835), third son of Prince
Constantine
 , founded a princely family still settled near Brunn. Nicholas Ypsilanti wrote Memoires valuable as giving material for the antecedents of the insurrection of 182o and the part taken in them by Alexander I. of Russia. They were published at Athens in 1901.
See the works cited in the bibliography of the article GREEK INDEPENDENCE, WAR OF, especially the Aosluov laropuKOP of J. Philemon.
