Principality of Achaea
=======================
The Principality of Achaea or of the Morea was one of the three vassal states of the Latin Empire which replaced the Byzantine Empire after the capture of Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade. It became a vassal of the Kingdom of Thessalonica, along with the Duchy of Athens, until Thessalonica was captured by Theodore, the despot of Epirus, in 1224. After this, Achaea became for a while the dominant power in Greece, and in the mid-13th century the court at Andravida was considered to be the best representation of chivalry by western Europeans.Achaea was founded in 1205 by William of Champlitte and Geoffrey I of Villehardouin, who undertook to conquer the Peloponnese on behalf of Boniface of Montferrat, King of Thessalonica. With a force of no more than 100 knights and 500 foot soldiers, they took Achaea and Elis, and after defeating the local Greeks in the Battle of the Olive Grove of Koundouros, became masters of the Morea. Only the fort of Monemvasia, and the castles of Argos, Nauplia and Corinth under Leo Sgouros held out until his suicide in 1208. By 1212, these too had been conquered, and organized as the lordship of Argos and Nauplia, and only Monemvasia continued to hold out until 1248. William of Champlitte ruled Achaea until he departed for France to assume an inheritance, but died on the way there in 1209. He was succeeded by Geoffrey I of Villehardouin, who ruled until his own death in 1219(There were also seven clerical baronies, headed by the bishop of Patras. Extensive estates were also granted to the military orders of the Templars, the Hospitallers and the Teutonic Knights).

Duchy of Athens
================
The Duchy of Athens was one of the Crusader States set up in Greece after the conquest of the Byzantine Empire during the Fourth Crusade, encompassing the regions of Attica and Boeotia, and surviving until its conquest by the Ottoman Empire in the 15th century.The first duke of Athens (as well as of Thebes, at first) was Otto de la Roche, a minor Burgundian knight of the Fourth Crusade. Although he was known as the "Duke of Athens" from the foundation of the duchy in 1205, the title did not become official until 1260. Instead, Otto proclaimed himself "Lord of Athens" (in Latin Dominus Athenarum, in French Sire d'Athenes). The local Greeks called the dukes "Megas Kyris" (Greek: Μέγας Κύρης, "Great Lord"), from which the shortened form "Megaskyr", often used even by the Franks to refer to the Duke of Athens, is derived.
Athens was originally a vassal state of the Kingdom of Thessalonica, but after Thessalonica was captured in 1224 by Theodore, the Despot of Epirus, the duchy became a vassal of the Principality of Achaea. The Duchy occupied the Attic peninsula and extended partially into Thessaly, sharing an undefined border with Thessalonica and then Epirus. It did not hold the islands of the Aegean Sea, which were Venetian territories, but exercised influence over the Latin Lordship of Negroponte. The buildings of the Acropolis in Athens served as the palace for the dukes.
De la Roche family
Of Burgundian origin, the dukes of the petty lordly family from La Roche renewed the ancient city of Plato and Aristotle as a courtly European capital of chivalry. They state they built around it was, throughout their tenure, the strongest and most peaceful of the Latin creations in Greece. After the De la Roche family gave the duchy of Athens to the Briennes, some of them moved back to their castle (located 40 kilometers from Paris) while others stayed at the east part of Attica. The De la Roche name changed. It became Rosis, Rosas, Rokas and finally Papavasileiou, due to a small civil war. The Papavasileiou family still owns a big part of what used to be the De la Roche estate in Attica.

* Guy I (1225–1263)
* John I (1263–1280)
* William I (1280–1287)

Willkommen auf der offiziellen Internetseite der griechischen Rittergruppe „Ritterhellas“.
Unser Kulturverein („Ritterhellas“) entstand mit der Absicht Veranstaltungen, die den Zeitraum vom europäischen Mittelalter in Griechenland während der Kreuzzüge bis hin zu den Rittern der Renaissance auf historischer Basis zu organisieren, teilzunehmen und aufzuführen.
Unsere Gruppe hat die Ehre historische Aufführungen an den historischen Orten und ihren Burgen, im Hellenischen Raum, wo sich die Ritterorden der Templer, Johanniter und des Deutschen Ordens (Teutonic) aufgehalten haben, zu organisieren und auch teilzunehmen. Die Gruppe beschäftigt sich mit der Studie der Geschichte im Mittelalter und mit der Übung in den mittelalterlichen Kriegstechniken.
Es wäre schön, wenn Sie uns auf diese Reisen in der Ritterzeit begleiten würden und eine Ehre das Re-enactment von historischen Ereignissen auf den Burgen unserer Heimat beizuwohnen.

Η Ομάδα Ιστορικής Αναβίωσης ‘Ritter Hellas’ έχει ως σκοπό να φέρει στο φως τις σπουδαιότερες στιγμές της Μεσαιωνικής Ιστορίας της Ελλάδος, τόσο για την επιμόρφωση, όσο και για την ψυχαγωγία του Ελληνικού (και όχι μόνο) κοινού. Μέσα από μία σειρά ιστορικών δρώμενων και αναπαραστάσεων, η ομάδα μας στοχεύει στο να παρουσιάσει στο κοινό τον τρόπο ζωής, τις συνήθειες και τα Ιπποτικά ιδεώδη των ανθρώπων που έζησαν και πολέμησαν στα Κάστρα της πατρίδος μας, κατά την παραπάνω ιστορική περίοδο. Αποδεικνύοντας με αυτό τον τρόπο την ιστορική αξία, όχι μόνο των ερειπίων και των κτισμάτων μιας τοποθεσίας, αλλά και της ποιότητας των ανθρώπων που έζησαν ή φιλοξενήθηκαν σε αυτά και προσέφεραν με τους αγώνες και τους μόχθους τους, ο καθείς, από ένα λιθαράκι στην ιστορία των οχυρώσεων του Ελλαδικού χώρου. Υπενθυμίζοντας στον επισκέπτη ότι δεν είναι απλά και μόνο θεατής ενός νεκρού μνημείου αλλά ένας ζωντανός παράγοντας, όπου με τη συμμετοχή του μπορεί να δώσει πνοή στη ζωή ενός τόπου.

Thank you, We appreciate your support ! We hope to see ya soon at one of our shows and make sure to check out our music at our MySpace and the merchandise in our shop ! Pre-Orders of "Horn Triskelion" available now in www.trollzorn.de/shop
After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem, & some songs, on myspace... Poem 187 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): A SOUTH SHIELDS WALKABOUT - AUTUMN 2001
Out of the museum-and-gallery (Wiser on Cookson and the local way), Down Ocean Road with, to the right of me, Its eateries and, left, neat places to stay; Before, on either side, Marine Parks - The southern-one a most beautiful place, Teeming with moorhens, swans, grebes and mallards In a small lake at a scenic-hill’s base.
Then (holding chips from the parade’s cafe And, thus, a flock of gulls squawking above) Onto the South Pier I made my way: Seeing seaweed over rocks - like a glove - And high-and-dry sands held from transgression By growth of grass and the weaving of wood, Plus, in the dim light of a sleepy sun, Fishing boats returning to Tynemouth’s hood.
Of course i'm wishing all of you a fantastic, awesome, healthy, happy and successful New Year 2010! Take care and i hope to see all of you this year again! BIG HUGS and na'stai kala!
