Lost Capital of Byzantium: The History of Mistra and the Peloponnese
Steven Runciman, John Freely (Foreword)
Clinging to a rugged hillside in the lush valley
of Sparta lies Mistra, one of the most dramatically beautiful Byzantine
cities in Greece, a place steeped in history, myth, and romance.
Following the Frankish conquest of the Peloponnese in the thirteenth
century, William II of Villehardouin built a great castle on a hill near
Sparta that later came to be known as Mistra. Ten years later, in a
battle in northern Greece, Villehardouin was defeated and captured by
the Byzantine emperor. The terms for his release included giving Mistra
to the Byzantine Greeks. Under their rule, the city flourished and
developed into a center of learning and the arts and was a focal point
for the cultural development of Europe. Sir Steven Runciman, one of the
most distinguished historians of the Byzantine period, traveled to
Mistra on numerous occasions and became enchanted with the place. Now
published in paperback for the first time, Lost Capital of Byzantium
tells the story of this once-great city―its rise and fall and its place
in the history of the Peloponnese and the Byzantine empire.
