Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Princes of Achaia and the Chronicles of Morea, Vol. 1 of 2: A Study of Greece in the Middle Ages Great as are the deserts of Buchon as an indefati gable and often happily inspired investigator, it must be acknowledged that the range of his studies in this particular field had not by any means exhausted the available sources of information, and that he was therefore not able sufficiently to control the inaccu racies of the Chronicle of the Morea to which, as his own discovery, he attached too exclusive an import ance, while a certain pardonably chauvinistic enthu siasm coloured his anxiety to magnify the achievements of his own countrymen, and led him to attach too little value to the other factors in the Frankish domination of Romania. A keener historical sense is displayed by the English writer Finlay, in the brief sketch of the Frankish states which he included in his history of Greece. But even to this conscientious historian many sources of evidence which have been added later to our store of material were not Open. The archives of Venice have since yielded a wealth of documents.

CHAPTER V WILLIAM VILLEHARDOUIN At the time when he inherited the principality William Villehardouin was a widower, having lost his first wife, the daughter of Narjaud de Toucy,1 soon after his marriage. In the last words which the chronicler puts into the mouth of the dying Geoffrey he enjoins upon his brother the duty of marrying again and ensuring the succession in Achaia. William was not slow to follow this wise counsel, and his second marriage with Carintana dalle Carceri was one of ambition. Carintana was the only child of Rizzardo, lord of Oreos and one-sixth of Eubcea, who died about the year 1220, while she was still an infant. The conventions signed by Venice with the Terzieri had probably never been recognised by the Princes of Achaia, who resented the growing influence of the republic in an island over which they claimed to be lords paramount, and as the daughter of the elder nephew of Ravano, Carintana could put forward pretensions which a powerful champion might successfully vindicate. For the moment, however, the necessity of completing the conquest of the peninsula made it politic for William to dissemble his ambitious schemes, and to maintain friendly relations with the feudatories beyond the isthmus. 1 Narjaud married a daughter of Theodore Vranas and Agnes of France. Only a few miles north, and still in sight of Cape Malea on the eastern coast of Laconia, a rocky promontory juts out into the DEGREESEgean. The sea has here encroached upon the landl and practically isolated the solitary mountain which is connected with the mainland by a long stone bridge or causeway. A castle crowns its peak. A little village lies below, enclosed in walls which converge towards the crest. The position must have been well-nigh impregna

Download or read book The Old French Chronicle of Morea written by Anne Van Arsdall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerous Byzantine and Western sources describing the events of the Fourth Crusade have now been translated into English. However, the same is not true for material on Frankish Greece, despite this region’s importance to late medieval crusading. The Chronicle of Morea is the key source for the history of the Frankish states established in Greece after the conquest of Constantinople in 1204 and their relations with the reviving Byzantine Empire during the 13th century. It is also an important source for the growth of the Venetian maritime empire. Most of the action centers on the Peloponnesus, then called Achaia or Morea, where crusaders William of Champlitte and Geoffrey of Villehardouin (nephew of the famous chronicler) established a principality and the Villehardouins a dynasty. Preserved in a unique fourteenth-century manuscript, the Old French version of the Chronicle of Morea is a contemporary account of Frankish feudal life transposed onto foreign soil. It describes clashes, conquests, and ransoms between the Franks and Byzantines, as well as their alliances and arranged marriages. A rich source, the Chronicle of Morea brims with anecdotes giving insight into the operation of feudal justice, the role of noble women in feudal society, the practice of chivalry, and the conduct of warfare. Versions of the Chronicle exist in Aragonese, Greek, and Italian, as well as in Old French. However, this is the first translation into English or any other modern language of the Old French text, thus opening its content to a wider audience.
