Cythère : société et économie pendant la période de la domination vénitienne

Abstract

The occupation of Kythira after the Fourth Crusade by the patrician
family of Venier, who held it as a fief till the intervention in 1363 of Venice,
which placed the island under its direct control, influenced the population’s
social and economic life. Using archival sources, conserved in the Local
Historical Archives, the author examines the nature of the terzaria imposed by the conquerors upon the inhabitants, and studies its consequences on the social and demographic situation of the island.
