About Philippe Chinard
Lived 1205 – 1266 (aged 60–61). Philippe Chinard was a governor.
Philippe Chinard (1205 - 1266) was a French nobleman, admiral and governor of Manfred of Sicily. After Manfred had captured some territories in Albania, Philip was appointed as Manfred's general governor of those dominions. Initially based in Corfu, Chinard moved his headquarters to Kanina, then the dominant center of the Vlorë region, where he married a relative of Michael II Komnenos Doukas.
