The Frankish Inscription at Karditza

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  23 December 2013

Extract

To students of Frankish Greece the church at Karditza in Boeotia is one of the most interesting in the country, because it contains an inscription referring to an important Frankish personage, Antoine le Flamenc, and dating from the fatal year 1311, which witnessed the overthrow of the Frankish Duchy of Athens in the swamps of the Boeotian Kephissós. Buchon had twice published this inscription; but, as I was anxious to know in what condition it was and to have an exact facsimile of it, I asked Mr. D. Steel, the manager of the Lake Copaïs Company, to have a fresh copy taken.
