Dimitrios Kallergis (
Greek
:
Δημήτριος Καλλέργης
, 1803-1867), was a
Cretan
-born
Gree
k soldier and statesman.
Hailing from the distinguished Cretan
Kallergis family
, he studied medicine at
Pari
s and on the outbreak of the
War of Greek Independence
went to the
More
a and joined the insurgents. He fought under
Georgios Karaiskakis
, was taken prisoner by the
Turk
s before
Athen
s and mulcted of an ear; later he acted as
aide de camp
to the
Frenc
h philhellene
Colonel Fabvier
and to
Count Capo d'Istria
, Governor of Greece.
In 1832 he was promoted lieutenant-colonel. In 1843, as commander of a
cavalr
y division, he was the prime mover in the
3 September Revolution
, which forced
King Otto
to dismiss his
Bavarian
ministers and grant a
constitution
. He was appointed military commandant of Athens and
aide de camp
to the king, but after the fall of the
Alexandros Mavrokordato
s ministry in 1845 was forced to go into exile, and spent several years in
London
, where he became an intimate of
Prince Louis Napoleon
.
In 1848 he made an abortive descent on the Greek coast, in the hope of revolutionizing the kingdom. He was captured, but soon released and, after a stay in the island of
Zante
, went to Paris (1853). At the instance of the Western Powers he was recalled on the outbreak of the
Crimean War
and appointed minister of war in the reconstituted Mavrokordatos cabinet (1854). He was, however, disliked by King Otto and his consort, and in October 1855 was forced to resign.
In 1861 he was appointed minister
plenipotentiar
y in Paris, in which capacity he took an important part in the negotiations which followed the fall of the Bavarian dynasty and led to the accession of
Prince George of Denmar
k to the Greek throne.
He died in
Athens
.
Kallergis was depicted on the
revers
e of the Greek 50
drachmas
commemorative coin issued in 1994 for the 150th anniversary of the
first Greek Constitution
.
