Principality of Theodoro (Mangup) - the last Byzantine state

- In this video I will talk about the Principality of Theodoro who is also known as Gothia, or the Principality of Mangup. This small, Christian feudal state located in the southwestern part of Crimea, existed from the 13th century to the 15th century. Its capital was Doros, also sometimes called Theodoro and now known as Mangup. The principality was a successor state of the Byzantine Empire, and was formed at the beginning of the 13th century from that part of the former Byzantine theme of Kherson in the Crimea, which had not become a colony of Genoa.
Is good to know that the principality of Theodoros was the last Byzantine state to disappear, 22 years after the fall of Constantinople. The principality of Theodoro was an important part of the history of the Crimean Peninsula in the Middle Ages.

History is so sad sometimes
Indeed it is.
Look now on what beautiful byzantine crimea has became
so after 1502 years this was the end of the roman empire
Really complex but inspiring. You explained well for only 6 min video. Take care
This is a sad story.
The last of the Romans...
Thank you.
Man I love history
That St.Stephen the Great married Maria Asanina Palaiologina, did it give him succession of the Roman Empire or the sons he had with Maria? Or doesn't it work like that?
Good video. But i thought the despotate of epirus was the last byzantine state, because it fell in 1479
That's right, but it was ruled by latins, Tocco dynasty from Italy, while Mangup was ruled by byzantine greeks
@@HistoryClassWhen did the Despotate of Epirus begin to be ruled by Latins?
It was ruled by the Tocco dynasty of Italy since the mid 1300s. If you include Epirus, you might as well include Naxos (lasted until 1579) and Kythnos (succeeded Naxos and lasted until 1617)
@@tripletgalaxy Says on Wikipedia the island of Tinos lasted until 1715, and was ruled by Venetians in the wake of 1204
@@tripletgalaxy Severan dynasty was African, Heraclian dynasty was Armenian, Macedonian dynasty was mix of Armenian, Anatolians and Greeks, doesn't mean that Roman/Eastern Roman empires were African or Armenian. The islands were under suzerainty of Venice. Even though it was ruled by Italians, Despotate of Epirus was indeed last Byzantine rump state.
Arent they gotic germans that settelt in Theodoro?
The region was inhabited also by Crimean Goths, that lived there along the Byzantines and others until Mangup was conquered by Ottomans.
Isn't this technically the fall of the roman Empire?
Yeah..I think so. I'm just surprised it lasted this long. But history is cruel to its subjects and all empires must finally fall one day.
@@ServalShots bloody ottomans
good job
Cool!
So then...whos the heir to the roman empire from all this?
Technically, the real Roman Empire was the Byzantine Empire (the Eastern Roman Empire)
Those fucking Turks couldn't keep their grubby little hands off anything Roman. Those fuckers took shit just to take it. No strategic value whatsoever. We have almost no East Roman successor states cause of those pieces of shit. The ones we do have "like the maniot pennsulia" are too inconclusive to draw any direct connection to. Like Goddamn you fucking Turks don't need EVERYTHING. Let a brother have SOME Roman Empire. Like not even a lot. Just enough scrappy bits to say it still exists, but nope
