Biography
Emanuel Zaccharia was the son of a Genoese nobleman Falconet Zaccaria. His brother Benedetto I Zaccharia managed to establish friendly relations with the Byzantine emperor . So, when in 1275 Emmanuel visited Constantinople with his brother, Emperor Michael VIII Palaeologus gave his sister to marry Benedetto, and Emmanuel was taken over by Fokey . In this area were located valuable deposits of alum . Thus, it was an extremely profitable acquisition for the Dzakkaria dynasty, especially after Emanuel managed to create his lord in Fokey, which enjoys wide autonomy. Moreover, he managed to convince Michael VIII to ban the import of alum from the Black Sea, although this trade was also in the hands of Genoese merchants. In this regard, Dzakaria managed to make a great financial condition [1] [2] .
Emmanuel ruled Phokey until his death in 1287 or 1288. He was succeeded by his brother Benedetto I. Emmanuel married Clarice Fieschi. From this marriage they had four sons: Tedicio, Leonardo, Odrado and Manfredo [3] .
