Vonko (fl. 1400-1401) was a "Serbs-Albanians-Bulgarians-Vlach" who conquered Arta from the Spata family in 1400, holding it until late 1401, when the Shpatas regained the town.
By the end of 1401, Vonko had been driven out from Arta. Skurra did not retain the town, instead his nephew Maurice Spata took over Arta and Skurra took over Angelokastron. No more is mentioned of him.
G. Schiro, who studied the genealogy of Shpata, assumed that the name ( Bokoes in the original text) is a variant of Bua, based on linguistic data and the fact that Bua initially had the form of Buchia.Schiró Giuseppe, La genealogia degli Spata tra il XIV e XV sec. e due Bua sconosciouti, Rivista di Studi Bizantini e Neoellenici, Universita di Roma, Roma, 1971-1972, pp. 84-85.
