	Duchy of the Archipelago - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Duchy of the Archipelago was created in 1207 by Marco Sanudo, a participant in the Crusade and a nephew of the former Venetian doge Enrico Dandolo, who had led the Venetian fleet to Constantinople.
		Twenty-one dukes of the two dynasties ruled the Archipelago, successively as vassals of the Latin Emperors at Constantinople, of the Villehardouin dynasty of princes of Achaea, of the Angevins of the Kingdom of Naples, and after 1418 of the Republic of Venice.
		In 1236, the Duchy was nominally granted to William of Villehardouin, later Prince of Achaea, and many of the islands, except Naxos and Paros, were reconquered by the Byzantine Empire by the end of the 13th century.

		They kept for themselves part of Constantinople, Gallipoli, Euboea, Crete, the southwestern tip of the Peloponnesus (Coron and Modon), Durazzo, and other posts on the Epiran coast, as well as the islands of the Ionian and Aegean Seas.

	Nasso
		The fortifications of Nasso are not a castle with towers and merlons, but a group of fortified mansions arranged in a way that they controlled the access to the top of the hill, where Marco Sanudo built his own fortified residence (which had a tall tower, now almost totally ruined).
		The only remaining fortified mansion belonged to the Crispo family who took over from the Sanudo the title of Dukes of Nasso (or Dukes of the Archipelago as they ruled over a number of islands, including Milo).
		When in 1566 the Turks put an end to the Duchy of the Archipelago, they did not actually put an end to the supremacy of the families of Venetian descent.

		It is built on an archipelago of 118 islands formed by about 150 canals in a shallow lagoon.

	Preface to The Cyclades, or Life Among the Insular Greeks, by James Theodore Bent
		Only in one small way might James Theodore Bent and I agree to disagree if we could have a conversation: he didn’t think much of the medieval part of Cycladic history.
		But I am a medievalist, and to me the story of the Duchy of the Archipelago, first flourishing in the same age as the sophisticated French court of Cyprus and later surviving against all odds in the age of Mehmet the Conqueror, is deeply moving.
		This book, and its chapters available separately, is a complete and unabridged new edition, with the type reset, of the original edition published by Longmans, Green and Co. in London in 1885.
