[edit] Definition of "despotate"
i'm guessing that it wadn't meant in today's definition but did despotate mean epirus was ruled by a despot? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Philip Laurence (talk • contribs) 05:24, 29 July 2004 (UTC)
- Yup, that's exactly what it meant. You're right that it doesn't mean the same as the modern definition - despot was just a Byzantine title (there is a list of titles at Byzantine aristocracy and bureaucracy), just below emperor. Usually it referred to the heir to the throne, and later the heirs ruled their own despotate in Morea (similar to the heir to the British throne being the Prince of Wales).

Did any other rulers besides Theodore Ducas claim the title emperor? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.49.149.91 (talk • contribs) 11:14, 4 July 2005 (UTC)
