“Atlante storico Geo-Mondadori”, 2000
After the capture of Constantinople in 1204, the Byzantine Empire was divided between the victors. The “Partitio Romaniae” assigned to Emperor Baldwin, as direct possession, a quarter of the empire: the capital and the interior, plus the coasts of Anatolia and the large islands of the Aegean Sea. Marquis Boniface returns Thessalonica, Athens and Attica, Boeotia, Corinthia and Argolis. To the crusader barons, Thessaly, part of Macedonia, Thrace.
