“Sono stati di questa casa alcuni bravi ed animosi Corsali, havendo tenuto galeotte, u fuste armare contra infedeli, e con esse, quando e’ occorsa l’occasione servitor fidelmente alla regia Maesta’. Tra loro uno fu’ Pietro d’Armenia Capitano della galera di Giovanni di Nava nostro Maltese, e d’una sua propria galeotta; di lui ritroviamo una memoria negli’ atti di questa Cancellaria, con occasione dicerto salvo condotto, che dal Gran Maestro Fr. Battista Ursino gli fu’ concesso in Rodi il 11 d’Ottobre 1470, chiamandolo Prudenti Viro Petro de Armenia Patrono (che tanto sonava in quei tempi quant’ hoggi) Capitano Triremis Ionneis de Nava salute, &c. L’istesso Pietro conseguisce per I suoi meriti, e servigi dal Re’ Ferdinando l’anno 1508, l’officio di Custode della porta della nostra Citta’; la vigna, o’ sia giardino del Baccari con le sue terre, il quale crediamo sia quello, che si dice il Gorghenti, e lo stagno di S. Giorgio; ma prima, ch’egli ne prendesse il possesso, resto’ morto in un conflitto navale seguito tra la sua galeotta, & alter de Mori ne mari della Barberia. Pero l’istesso Re’ volendo in ogni modo rimunerar I suoi posteri, per riconoscer il merito de I di lui servigi, come nel privilegio della concessione si legge. Cui quidem supplicationi benigniter de mare nostro annuentes, (qui semper suit servitia paterno in filios recogoscere, & gratificare) conferi’ tutte le sudette gratie ad Antonio suo figliuolo primogenitor in sua vita, come piu’ diffusamente si contiene in detto privilegio, dato nella Citta di Burgos a’ 14 di Giugno 1508. Fu’ poscia Antonio dal Conte di Camarata Don Federico de Abbatellis Mastro Portulano del Regno di Sicilia, deputato Viceportulano in quest’ isole di Malta, e Gozo, stando nella Citta’ di Saragozza d’Aragon, a’ primo di Agosto 1518, dandogli questo titolo, Nobili Viro Antonio de Armenia de Insula Meliveti salutem; come si scorge nella sua patente, che fu’ poi confermata dalla Regina Giovanna, e Carlo con loro privilegio, dato nella medesima Citta a’ di 30 dell’ istesso mese, & anno. Tali furono I servigi di Pietro d’Armenia, che l’anno 1527 l’Imperatore Carlo quinto in loro riguardo, raccommando la persona di Antonio suo figliuolo al Conte di Monteleone allora Vicere’ di Sicilia, accio’ lo provedesse di alcuna carica di mare, o’ di terra, o’ degli’ officij annuali della nostra Citta’, & Isola corrispondenti alla di lui qualita’, & al suo merito, che nella lettera scrittagli da Vagliadod a’ 6 di Marzo di dett’ anno in tal maniera discorre, Y a deueys informado de les Buenos, y muchos servicios, que el qundam Pedro de Armenia natural de la Isla de Malta hizo con su persona, y ropa, al Catolico Rey Don Hernando mi Senor, y Aguelo de gloriosa emoria, y de como ultimadamente murio’ peleando con los moros en defension de nuestra santa fede catolica, or donde ed mucha razon mirar per sus hujos, y beneficiarlos, &c l’originale della quale noi habbiamo veduto, e letto, che si conserva presso a’ suoi discendenti. E stato ano segnalato Matteo d’Armenia, che non sappiamo se fosse fratello, o’ figliuolo di Pietro, ma ben si, che per li suoi servigi sia stato rimunerato per se, e suoi successori in perpetuo, di certe salmate di terra dal feudo di Benuarrat sotto ricognitione alla regia secrezia d’un oncia ogn’ anno, nel privilegio della qual concessione fattagli dal Re’ Ferdinando in Madrid a 22 di Gennaio 1514, si leggono queste parole. Debens Principes illos, qui pericolis, & laboribus se exponent, ut regia mandata exequantur, liberalitatis oculis intueri, Ut apud omnes non minus iusti, quam liberals censeantur. Quapropter quum Vos dilectus noster Matthaus de Armenia, de Civitate Meliveti Maiestati nostra plurima servitia feceritis nobis serviendo in exercitu nostro maritimo, quem in Africam acversus perfidos Mauros transmisimus, in alquam recompensam, & c. Dan sudetto Antonio nacquero Fr. Leone, che fu’ dell/ Ordine Domenicano, e Luca; questo nel 1541, essendo uno de’ Giurati, fu mandato Ambasciatore per l’Universita al Vicere di Sicilia. Di lui fu unico figliolo Mario d’Armenia padre di Pietro, e di Giovanni, ch’hoggi vivono. ” (From Abela’s “Della Descrittione di Malta del Commendatore Abela” (1647))
THE GENEALOGY OF THE ARMENIA FAMILY:
The Barons di Baccari of Malta (d'Armenia sives Darmanin)
The Descendants of the last Kings of Cyprus and Armenia.
The title Barone de Baccari was created in 1508 to Jacques Matteo (sives Eugene Matteo) d’Armenia with the remainder to his descendants in perpetuity. Eugene the illegitimate son of King Jacques II of Cyprus, when his family were exiled, first had gone to Naples, Sicily, then settled in Malta marrying a Sicilian heiress Donna Paola Mazzara (a descendant of the Royal House of Aragon of Sicily and Aragon), with issue. Eugene Matteo has also been noted as living in Malta and also noted to have been in Venice. Though reports such as family historians don’t note the place of death, if in Malta or even perhaps in Venice. His descendants in Malta are quite well noted in Maltese history, especially in the area of Politics, Lawyers, Nobility, and Bishops. (Ref: Ladies of Medieval Cyprus and Caterina Cornaro by Leto Severis, Nicosia 1995; ISBN 9963-8102-1-7.)
His heir James Antonio (sives Blasio) d'Armenia succeeded to the title of Barone di Baccari and also during his father’s life time created Barone di Benuwarred by the Grand Master of Malta in 1514 to his heirs in legitimate succession of primogeniture. His marriage to Dona Isabella di Avello, succeeded the ancient families of Vaccaro into the family. Blasio d'Armenia died 1558.
His son Masi d'Armenia succeeded as the Barone of Baccari and Benuwarred, married a Gozitian heiress and fathered a daughter, Isabella, who also succeeded to the family estates in Malta, married to Don Matteo Ciuma, but dying without heirs. She had sold her shares in 1590 to her elder aunt, Isabella. Baroness Isabella died as a Nun in 1621 in Valletta and the Barony of Benuwarred died with her.
Donna Isabella d'Armenia, the aunt of Baroness Isabella Ciuma, had succeeded the lands and titles of the Armenia estates, but didn’t take on the pretention of the rights to the Royal House of Cyprus. She married Don Gio Lanza Inguanez, Heir to the Maltese titles of Ghariexem e Tabia, an ancient Spanish family which has settled in Malta in the 14th century. [Is this the same Isabella who died a num in 1621?]
Isabella's son Gerolamo succeeded the estates in 1598 and he passed the title of Baccari to his eldest daughter and the estates were succeeded to his son Salvatore and other siblings in 1632. Isabella Inguanez, Baroness of Baccari was the mistress of Marc'Antonio Inguanez, 13th Barone di Djar il-Bniet e Buqana, a very distant cousin, though on a solemn promise to her father, that she was to be married but this never happened. Her three illegitimate children succeeded with their rights intact by the Grand Master and also by the half-brother of Isabella's children, a personal favorite and also the Lieut Governor of Malta. Isabella died in 1707 and her son who was in his senior years succeeded as the 8th Baron of Baccari.
Francesco Inguanez, succeeded as the 8th Baron of Baccari and his marriage to Countess Bridga Inguanez, a distant cousin brought a hereditary title of Count and Countess to all descendants from the Vassallo-Paleologo family.
Succession through the descendants was direct and by nomination from father to son or daughter with the style of Count/Countess, Baron/Baroness of Baccari. Count Publio Inguanez succeeded as the 9th Baron, dying in 1742 and was succeeded by his eldest daughter Countess Maria, who also inherited the rights of the Barony of Djar il-Bniet. Maria was married to Mastro Pedro Tanti and the title of Baccari was inherited by a younger daughter Theresia in 1778.
Theresia Tanti, who succeeded as the 11th Baroness of Baccari, was married to Giuseppe Vella, Captain of the Army in Mosta and had several children. Theresia died in 1789 with succession going to her eldest son, Johannes Vella. Barone Johannes Vella had written the history of the descendants of the Royal House of Cyprus in Malta. John, who was also in the Army and Captain of the Mosta regiment took collectively with those from other towns in Malta to fight against Napoleon and failed. All were rounded up and executed by firing squad in 1799.
Xavier Vella succeeded as the 13th Barone and married with issue. His eldest son Lieut John Vella RMA had married Janet Wallace, the illegitimate daughter of Richard Seymour-Conway, the 4th Marquis of Hertford and brother of Sir Richard Wallace,1st Baronet. Their eldest child Saverio only left a daughter by his mistress, but she was not permitted to succeed by Baron Xaverio Vella. The illegitimate daughter had migrated with her mother with the help of the Barone Vella to set them up in Los Angeles California, USA. Their descendants still continue to this very day.
Barone Xaverio Vella had lived a very long life and also lost most of his legitimate heirs. His eldest daughter, Teresa Vella Sant, was married to Prince Giovanni Maria Said and she succeeded to the title of Baroness of Baccari. Thus, her descendants in the senior line carry the title.
The family of d'Armenia is descended from the de Lusignan royal family of the Kingdom of Cyprus.
