Lordship of Chios

Lordship of Chios

The Lordship of Chios was founded in 1304, when Benedetto I Zaccaria conquered the Greek island of Chios and received it as a fief from the Byzantine emperor Andronicus II Palaeologus. Chios remained well outside any practical Byzantine authority, however.

In 1329, a rebellion of the locals overthrew the Italian Zaccaria family and the island became a Byzantine possession again. In 1345, it fell to the Giustiniani, who held it until 1566, when it finally capitulated to the Ottoman Empire.
