Spyridon Karaiskakis (Greek: Σπυρίδων Καραϊσκάκης; 1825 – 1899) was a Hellenic Army officer and politician, the son of Georgios Karaiskakis.[1][2]
He was born in 1825[2] at Kalamos on the island of Ithaca,[3] as the son of Georgios Karaiskakis, one of the chief leaders of the Greek War of Independence, and Engolpia Skylodimou.[2] In 1833, King Otto of Greece sent sixty orphaned children of War of Independence fighters, Karaiskakis among them, to be educated at Munich. Karaiskakis returned to Greece after a year, and attended a Greek high school.[2]
