I'm sorry they didn't spare him, that man raised the whole Peloponnese. And to kill him in the church is already low.

I'm sorry they killed him right in the church, that's really low. As far as I have read, Kolokotronis really started the whole Peloponnese, and this is how they got rid of him treacherously.

I am sorry that they killed him right in front of the church, I agree that it is low. I read that after so much fighting in the Peloponnese, he ended up in a dungeon by his own people, not by the Turks. Did you come across any book about him in Serbian?

Miloš Marković
I'm sorry that he fell right there, in front of the church, really low. I read that he was imprisoned in Nafplio, and then in Monemvasia, all on the orders of those who fought alongside him. In Serbian, I found Kolokotronis' "Memoirs" in a translation from the 80s, if you need the title, let me know. Have you read anything about the Peloponnesian battles?

I'm sorry that they met him right there in front of the church, really low. I read the memoir a long time ago, but I don't remember the translation from the 80s - let me know the title if you can. And the battles in the Peloponnese, the one at Dervenakia stayed in my mind the most, have you read anything new about it?

I'm sorry that they waited for him right in front of the church, really low. I read somewhere that he spent almost two years in prison in Nafplio, and later they released him when they realized that he couldn't go without him. Have you perhaps seen the book "Kolokotronis - life and works" by one of our historians from the nineties?
