Conspiracy of Sifis Vlastos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Conspiracy of Sifis Vlastos (Greek: Συνομωσία του Σήφη Βλαστού) was a fifteenth-century planned rebellion against the Republic of Venice in the overseas colony of Crete, named after its chief instigator. Vlastos and his collaborators were betrayed to the Venetian authorities, who swiftly arrested and executed them in 1454. A smaller, follow-on plan for an intended uprising against Venice was dismantled in 1462.[1]
