Kanellos Deligiannis (Greek:Κανέλλος Δεληγιάννης; c. 1780–1862) was aGreekmagnate from theMorea and the son ofIoannis Deligiannis. He was one of the main organizers of theGreek War of Independence and a politician in the independentKingdom of Greece.
He was born inLangadia,Gortynia, and was a son of one of the most important magnates in thePeloponnese (Morea), Ioannis Deligiannis. Due to the prominence ofhis family [el;fr] in the area, he played an important role in theGreek Revolution.
He fought atTripolitsa,Peta,Missolonghi,and elsewhere. During theGreek civil wars of 1824–1825, he joined with many chiefs of the Peloponnese andHydra and convincedTheodoros Kolokotronis to join them by offering his daughter in marriage to one of Kolokotronis' sons. In the second round of the civil war, he was imprisoned along with Kolokotronis by the provisional government ofGeorgios Kountouriotis. After Independence, he became a speaker of theGreek Parliament in 1844–1845.
Deligiannis also wrote memoirs, which are considered controversial, as they seek to justify his father's pro-Turkish stance as being beneficial for the Greek population. His memoirs also portray the rivalries of the various groups and the leading families of the Peloponnese before and during the Revolution.
He died in 1862.
