Three Greek successor states ultimately established themselves after the fall of Constantinople to the Fourth Crusade: the Empire of Nicaea, in northwestern Asia Minor (1205-1261); the Despotate of Epirus, in the mountains of northwestern Greece (1205-1318); and the Empire of Trebizond (1205-1461), along the Pontic coast on the southeastern shores of the Black Sea. Each successor state had its own ruling family: the Laskarids of Nicaea, the Despots of Epirus, and the Grand Comneni of Trebizond. Use this thread for posts about these Byzantine successor states, their rulers, and their monuments.
