Mercurio Bua (Albanian: Mërkur Bua; Greek: Μερκούριος Μπούας, romanized: Merkourios Bouas; some modern sources use Buia[2]) was an Albanian condottiero (Stratioti captain) active in Italy. His father was Pjetër Bua, leader of the Albanians in the Morea in the 15th century. Born in Nauplia in 1478, Mercurio Bua moved to Venice in 1489 after his father's death and participated in the important phases of the Italian Wars serving the Republic of Venice, the Duke of Milan Ludovico Sforza, the Kingdom of France, the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I and then again Venice.[3][4] For his deeds the King of France Louis XII rewarded him with the honorary title Count of Aquino and Roccasecca.[4]
