George I Ghisi (Italian: Giorgio Ghisi) (died 15 March 1311) was a Latin feudal lord in medieval Greece.
A son of Bartholomew I Ghisi, through his first marriage to a daughter of Guy II of Dramelay he was Baron of Chalandritsa in the Principality of Achaea. In 1292, he was also named as castellan of Kalamata.[1] In that year, following a series of destructive raids in the Greek and Latin-held islands of the Aegean Sea, the Aragonese admiral Roger of Lauria led his fleet to anchor at Navarino. Fearful lest the Aragonese seize possession of lands in Achaea, or repeat their plundering raids, and with Prince Florent of Hainaut absent in Italy, George assembled two hundred knights at Androusa and attacked the Aragonese. In a brief but bloody combat, the Achaeans were defeated and George captured, only to be ransomed for 8,000 hyperpyra shortly after when the Aragonese fleet sailed to Glarentsa.[2][3]
^Bon (1969), pp. 235, without mention of a source; Alice is however described in the same book as regent for her son till 1314 p.703; Loenertz does not cite any document about the death of Alice : since she is only mentioned in a document dated ca. 1312-1313 and accordingly cited as "Alix, tercière de Negrepont 1310-1313" in Karl Hopf's influential genealogical tables ("Chroniques gréco-romanes inédites ou peu connues", p.479), Bon may have been mistaken.
