This study is the first to systematically investigate Byzantine
imperial ideology, court rhetoric and political thought after the
Latin conquest of Constantinople in 1204 - in the Nicaean state
(1204-61) and during the early period of the restored empire of the
Palaiologoi. The book explores Byzantine political imagination at a
time of crisis when the Empire ceased to be a first-rate power in
the Mediterranean. It investigates the correspondence and fissures
between official political rhetoric, on the one hand, and the
political ideas of lay thinkers and churchmen, on the other.
Through the analysis of a wide body of sources, a picture of
Byzantine political thought emerges which differs significantly
from the traditional one. The period saw refreshing developments in
court rhetoric and political thought, some with interesting
parallels in the medieval and Renaissance West, which arose in
response to the new historical realities.
