Pelekanos, Kozani

Pelekanos (Greek: Πελεκάνος, formerly Πέλκα - Pelka) is a small village in the municipality Voio, West Macedonia periphery, Greece. With a population of 527 as of 2001, it is set at the foothills (760m) of Mount Askio. The Byzantine historian Procopius mentions the location as the Justinian I's fortress of "Pelekon". Ruins of the fortress can be found in the surrounding area to this day. During the early 20th century, the region became relatively poor and economically isolated. A significant part of its population emigrated to the larger cities of Greece, and other countries such as the United States and Australia. Today, the village is known for its red wine production and also as the filming location of Glory Sky (Greek: Ουρανός - Ouranos) that participated in the 1963 Cannes Film Festival.

Pełka (Archbishop of Gniezno)

Pełka or Fulko (died April 5, 1258 in Łęczyca) was the Archbishop of Gniezno, Poland in 1232–1258.

Neither the date nor place of his birth are known, although he was probably born in Galicia. The 14th-century historian Jan Dlugosz claimed that he was from the knightly Lis family. Shortly after his birth his father he joined the priesthood, which led to rumors about his illegitimate birth. But a commission appointed by Pope Honorius III dismissed these claims.

The date of Pełka' consecration as Archbishop of Gniezno is sometimes given as 26 June 1235. As Archbishop, Pełka continued the reforms initiated by Henryk Kietlicz and supported a centralised monarchy rather than the fragmented state. He continued the role of arbitrator between the Piast claimants to the throne. In 1234, he was an arbitrator in a dispute between Henry the Bearded and Wladyslaw Odonic of Wielkopolskie.

Pełka, like his predecessor Henryk Kietlicz, was also a defender of Church rights. He supported Thomas I, Bishop of Wrocław, in his dispute with Henry the Bearded.
