Medieval Greece

I’m gradually adding to the information on this site, via the categories below:

• What’s it all about is an introduction to medieval Greece, and in particular the Frankish Peloponnese in the thirteenth century

• Being Byzantine looks back to my published research on ‘Greek identity before the Ottomans’ - still an area that I’m really interested in and which informs my current fictional work

• Monemvasia focuses on this incredible location - the ‘Ship of Stone’ - which is a key locale in my fiction

• Theodoros Karagounis has some information and thoughts on my main protagonist (without giving too much away…)

• And then there’s… gathers together some thoughts on other characters and places

• Sources looks at some of the documents and other evidence that inform our understanding of medieval Greece - including a look at a key musical source associated with the medieval Peloponnese
