Karystos
Karystos ( el, Κάρυστος) or Carystus is a small coastal town on the Greece, Greek island of Euboea. It has about 5,000 inhabitants (12,000 in the municipality). It lies 129 km south of Chalkis. From Athens it is accessible by ferry via Marmari from the port of Rafina. After the Greek war of independence, its urban plan was laid out by the renowned Bavarian civil engineer Bierbach, in the middle of the 19th century. History Karystos apparently remained inhabited throughout the early Middle Ages. As part of the theme (Byzantine district), theme of Hellas (theme), Hellas, it was also seat of a bishop – a suffragan see, suffragan of See of Athens, Athens – at least since the reign of Leo VI the Wise (r. 886–912). It was among the towns listed in the 1198 ''chrysobull'' of Alexios III Angelos, where the Republic of Venice, Venetians were permitted to establish trade stations. In 1205 it was captured, as with the rest of the island, by James II of Avesnes, and soon ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Andrea Ghisi
Andrea Ghisi was a Venetian nobleman, and the first Lord of Tinos and Mykonos. There are no sources about him until 1207 when he participated in the expedition organized by Marco Sanudo for the conquest of the Greek islands which, three years after the fall of Constantinople to the Fourth Crusade, had not yet been occupied by the victors. He is not to be confused with the 17th-century Andrea Ghisi, from the same family, who devised a game called ''Laberinto'' ("Labyrinth"). According to Andrea Dandolo, Andrea and his brother Geremia received together possession over Tinos, Mykonos, Skyros, Skopelos and Skiathos, and after the division of these possessions among themselves, Andrea obtained Tinos and Mykonos. The two brothers were not vassals of Sanudo's Duchy of Naxos, however, but directly under the Latin Empire. In 1243 he was engaged with his brother in a long dispute with the Republic of Venice. During the campaign of 1207, the island of Andros had been assigned to Marino ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Geremia Ghisi
Geremia Ghisi was a Venetian nobleman who in ca. 1207, following the Fourth Crusade, captured the Greek islands of Skiathos, Skopelos, and Skyros and became their lord, while his brother Andrea Ghisi conquered the islands of Tinos and Mykonos. Their sister or half-sister, Agnese Ghisi, married Othon de Cicon, who became the lord of Karystos on Euboea. In ca. 1239 Geremia, aided by his brother Andrea, expelled another Venetian nobleman, Marino Dandolo, from his fief of Andros. Dandolo died soon after, but his widow and sister brought a complaint before the Great Council of Venice, which in August 1243 ordered Geremia to restore Andros to the Dandolo heirs on pain of banishment from Venice and the sequestration of his and Andrea's properties there. Despite this decree, Geremia retained control of Andros until he died some years later. The island then reverted to the Duke of Naxos, Angelo Sanudo, but the affair continued to be a cause of dispute in the courts of Venice between Andrea ...

Othon De Cicon
Othon de Cicon was a Frankish noble and baron of Karystos on the island of Euboea ( Negroponte) in medieval Greece. Othon was the son of Jacques de Cicon and Sibylle de la Roche, the sister of the first Duke of Athens, Othon de la Roche. After Jacques' death, the lordship of Cicon (located in the area of Vanclans) passed in part to Othon's brother Ponce, while Othon himself went to Greece, where by 1250 he became baron of Karystos on the southern tip of Euboea. In the War of the Euboeote Succession, he sided with the Prince of Achaea William II of Villehardouin, and armed a galley to support him. In 1261, following the recovery of Constantinople by the Byzantine Greeks of the Empire of Nicaea, the fugitive Latin Emperor Baldwin II arrived at Euboea. There Othon loaned him 5,000 gold ''hyperpyra'', which Baldwin later repaid by, among others, giving him the right arm of Saint John the Baptist, with which Jesus Christ was baptized. Othon sent it to the Cîteaux Abbey in his native Bu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Licario
Licario, called Ikarios ( gr, Ἰκάριος) by the Greek chroniclers, was a Byzantine admiral of Italian origin in the 13th century. At odds with the Latin barons (the "triarchs") of his native Euboea, he entered the service of the Byzantine emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos (r. 1259–1282), and reconquered many of the Aegean islands for him in the 1270s. For his exploits, he was rewarded with Euboea as a fief and rose to the rank of ''megas konostaulos'' and '' megas doux'', the first foreigner to do so. Biography Origins and early life Licario was born in Karystos in Latin-held Euboea ( Negroponte), from a Vicentian father and a local woman. He was of humble origin, but able and ambitious. Serving as a knight under the Latin triarch Giberto II da Verona, he managed to win the heart of Felisa, sister of Giberto and widow of another triarch, Narzotto dalle Carceri. The match was met with disapproval by Felisa's family. They secretly married, but the marriage was cancelled by ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

13th-century Venetian Women
The 13th century was the century which lasted from January 1, 1201 (Roman numerals, MCCI) through December 31, 1300 (Roman numerals, MCCC) in accordance with the Julian calendar. The Mongol Empire was founded by Genghis Khan, which stretched from Eastern Asia to Eastern Europe. The conquests of Hulagu Khan and other Mongol invasions changed the course of the Muslim world, most notably the Siege of Baghdad (1258), the destruction of the House of Wisdom and the weakening of the Mamluk Sultanate (Cairo), Mamluks and Sultanate of Rum, Rums which, according to historians, caused the decline of the Islamic Golden Age. Other Muslim powers such as the Mali Empire and Delhi Sultanate conquered large parts of West Africa and the Indian subcontinent, while Buddhism witnessed a decline through the conquest led by Bakhtiyar Khilji. The Southern Song dynasty would begin the century as a prosperous kingdom but would eventually be invaded and annexed into the Yuan dynasty of the Mongols. The Ka ...

Year Of Death Unknown
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar year (the mea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
