John Asen Zaccaria or Asanes Zaccaria (Italian: Giovanni Asano Zaccaria; died 1469) was the firstborn son of Centurione II Zaccaria and a lady of the great Byzantine family of Asen - Palaiologos.[1]
He was proclaimed Prince of Achaea during the great Morean revolt of 1453-54 and was recognized as such by the Western christian powers of the time. Since then he adopted the paternal name, as "Prince Centurione III". John was the last ruling Prince residing in Morea,[2] and the first titular Prince of Achaea in exile.[3][4]
