Progonos Sgouros (Greek: Πρόγονος Σγουρός; fl. 1294–1300) was a late 13th-century Byzantine senior military commander from Principality of Arbanon (Medieval Albania) with the rank of megas hetaireiarches.[1][2][3] He was lord of Ohrid when the city was territorially controlled by the Byzantine Empire.[4]
Biography
Progonos Sgouros, from Arbanon, was married to Eudokia, a female relative of Andronikos II Palaiologos (r. 1282–1328), becoming a gambros of the Byzantine emperor.[1][2][3]
Around 1294–1295, he restored the Church of the Virgin Peribleptos in Ohrid, at the time under Byzantine rule,[3][5] which later came to be known as St. Clement after Saint Clement of Ohrid.[1][6][7] Progonos gifted an iconostasis of 8 panels, together with an icon of the Virgin Peribleptos of which only a fragment survived, with the iconostasis depicting the main feasts of the Church.[8] The works were painted by Eutychios and Michael Astrapas, from Thessaloniki.[4][5]
