Summary/Abstract: Lives of great men who created history are in the main well known, for many books have been written about them. In а way, history has trifled with the so-called ordinary and small реорlе, allotting to them the fate of quick and complete oblivion. The aim of this contribution is not to achieve the impossible and amend the aforementioned historical injustice inflicted оn most of mankind. Obviously, it would bе а futile јоb. This contribution was primarily conceived as а modest attempt to bring out of oblivion four persons nот late Byzantine history: the peasant Draganos from the environs of Prosek (lз th century), the brave warrior Lantazaretos, an escort of John Kantakouzenos (14th century), Makouraino, thе courageous woman from Karia (14th century) and Chrysobergina (15th century).
