Career
A few days after Sgouros took over Arta, however, the town was captured by the adventurer Vonko. While Sgouros fled to Angelokastron, a short time after, possibly as early as December 1399 (or by the end of 1401), Maurice Spata, his grandnephew, managed to evict Vonko from Arta and took over the governance of the city himself, while Sgouros thus took over governance of Angelokastron. In 1402/3, Maurice came to Sgouros" aid when the latter was besieged at Angelokastron by the forces of Carlo I Tocco.
Because of Paul"s withdrawal, Maurice Spata and Tocco divided Aetolia and Acarnania between themselves.
In 1408, Tocco holds Angelokastron.
