| Gropa Paulus | Person | The King of Sicily, Charles I Anjou, issued on the 18th May 1273 a charter for the Sevastus Paulus Gropa on account of his accomplished services. Paulus Gropa obtained in the donation the control of „casalia Radicis maioris et Radicis minoris, nec non Cobochetes, Zuadigoriza, Sirclani et Craye, Zessizan sitam in valle de Ebu”, which were of low value (nec excedunt valorem annuum quadrigentorum yperperorum) and did not encroach on the interests of Greeks, the family of Anjou and the Serbs (dummodo non sint de pertinentiis regni nostril Albanie, neque regni Servie, nec terrarium datarum in dotem per quondam Michaelem despotum quondam Elene fgilie sue uxori quondam Manfridi olim principis Tarentini). The King of Sicily, Charles I Anjou, issued on the 19th June 1274 a charter for Narzo de Toucy, the local representative in Durazzo. The charter mentions the letter from Narzo, where the events after the landing in Durazzo are described. According to Narzo right after the landing the emissaries of Albanians (savasto Paulus Gruppa et Johannes Musacius) came. | |||
| Gropas Andreas | Person | Mentioned in different documents and relics from 1371 to 1379. According to the ktitor inscription in the Church Mal sveti Kliment in Ōhrid from 1378 he was the μέγαλος ζούπανος of Ōhrid. The Historia della casa Musachia records, that Andreas Gropas was married with Kiranna, the daughter of Andreas II. Musachi (questo Signor Groppa predetto dʼOcrida hehbe per moglie la Signora Chiranna seconda figlia sua). The sepulchral inscription for Ostoja Rajaković from 1379 reports, that he was the father-in-law of Ostoja Rajaković (zetь župana Grōpe). ). His son-in-law was also Balša Balšić (Balsa suo genero). He had his own coins minted since 1371. So far 27 pieces of these coins have been preserved. One of the coins has the legend „po milosti Božiei velikь županь Gropa gospodinь Ohrid.‟ Six coins mention him as župan. His father-in-law and his son-in-law Balša helped him to liberate the city of Kastoria from the control of the king Markos/Marko Kraljević. According to the Historia della casa Musachia he ruled beside Ōhrid also in Debar (Signor Groppa Signor dʼOcrida overo Debria). Nikolaj D. Ovčarov proposed to read some monogramm attempts found in the Church of Sveta Sofija in Ōhrid as signatures of Andreas Gropa. This ascertainment could lead us to the assumption, that Andreas Gropas had his own chancery. | |||
