Late Medieval Central Greece in Turmoil: Thessaly, Thirteenth to Fifteenth Centuries C.E.

Thessaly's pivotal role during the late Byzantine period (1204–1461/1479) is highlighted, positioning it alongside other Byzantine exiled states such as Nicaea, Epirus, Trebizond, and the Despotate of the Morea/Mystras. The study emphasizes Thessaly's early 13th-century history in parallel with the Latin Empire of Constantinople and the Kingdom of Thessalonica, offering a comparative framework for understanding its political evolution from incorporation into the Epeirote state to Ottoman annexation (ca. 1454–1470). This approach provides new insights into the region's turbulent medieval dynamics.
