About This Book

A collection of revised scholarly essays surveys the history of Greece and the neighbouring Balkans under successive foreign regimes, from Roman rule through Byzantine, Frankish, Venetian, Genoese, and Ottoman administrations. Individual studies analyze political structures, feudal society, principalities and island duchies, commercial colonies, and military episodes, offering close examinations of locales such as Monemvasia, Naxos, Crete, and the Ionian islands. Appendices and miscellanea treat Balkan polities, exiles, and the Latin kingdom in the Levant, while methodological commentary incorporates recent research and source evidence. The work highlights institutional change, cross-cultural interaction, and regional consequences of conquest.
