Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the captivating history of the Frankish principality of Achaia in the late 13th century, a period marked by political intrigue, shifting alliances, and the enduring legacy of the Crusades. The author vividly portrays the challenges faced by the Franks as they navigated a complex landscape of power struggles between the Byzantine Empire, the Angevin dynasty of Naples, and local Greek rulers. Through meticulous research and engaging storytelling, the author brings to life the key figures of this era, including Florence of Hainault and Isabella Villehardouin, the ruling couple of Achaia. The narrative explores their efforts to consolidate power, reform the principality's administration, and maintain a delicate balance between their Frankish heritage and the realities of ruling over a predominantly Greek population. The book examines themes of cultural exchange, political maneuvering, and the complexities of feudal society in a frontier region. It sheds light on the strategies employed by the Franks to preserve their dominance, including strategic alliances, military campaigns, and the construction of imposing castles like Beaufort. Ultimately, this book offers valuable insights into a pivotal period in the history of Achaia and the broader context of the Frankish presence in the eastern Mediterranean. It reveals the enduring impact of the Crusades and the challenges of maintaining a foreign power in a region with a rich and resilient native culture.
