Theodoros Kolokotronis (3 April 1770 16 February 1843) was a Greek general and the pre-eminent leader of the Greek War of Independence (18211829) against the Ottoman Empire. Kolokotronis’s greatest success was the defeat of the Ottoman army under Mahmud Dramali Pasha at the Battle of Dervenakia in 1822.
