This volume of studies explores a particularly complex period in
Byzantine history, the thirteenth century, from the Fourth Crusade
to the recapture of Constantinople by exiled leaders from Nicaea.
During this time there was no Greek state based on Constantinople
and so no Byzantine Empire by traditional definition. Instead, a
Venetian/Frankish alliance ruled from the capital, while many
smaller states also claimed the mantle of Byzantium. Even after
1261 when the Latin Empire of Constantinople was replaced by a
restored Greek state, political fragmentation persisted. This
fragmentation makes the study of individuals more difficult but
also more valuable than ever before, and this volume demonstrates
the very considerable advances in historical understanding that may
be gained from prosopographical approaches. Specialist historians
of the Byzantine successor states of the period, and of their most
important neighbours, here examine the self-projection and
interactions of these states, combining military history and
diplomacy, commercial and theological contacts, and the experiences
and self-description of individuals. This wide-ranging series of
articles uses a great diversity of sources - Arabic, Armenian,
Bulgarian, Greek, Latin, Persian and Serbian - to exploit the
potential of the novel methodology employed and of prosopography as
an additional historical tool of analysis.
