It is based on the most important narrative sources, both Greek and Latin. The main Greek narrative sources are the texts of Kritoboulos of Imbros, George Sphrantzes, Laonikos Chalkokondyles and Theodorus Spandunes. From the Latin point of view we have the testimony of two major important chroniclers: Domenico Malipiero's Annali Veneti and the text of Giacomo Bosio, the historiographer of the Hospitaller Knights. We are also provided with informations by the Venetian chronicle named "Cronica Zena".

As the Hospitallers were trying to gain political control in the land of the Morea, they made an attempt to approach the local population in order to establish their rule with its consensus. However, only the inhabitants of Corinth responded positively, while the Spartans were absolutely negative in the possibility to be ruled by the Order. The examination of the Greek and Latin sources gives us a picture about the expectations and reactions of both sides.

Their role was strategic, providing shelter to the travelers, pilgrims etc., that was moving between the Black Sea to the Mediterranean sores and Middle East. Caravaserays are mainly connected to the Seljuk emirates and their construction follows a very interesting architecture type. Particular emphasis is given to the Anatolian examples of caravanserays from the Seljuk period.

These relations were political, economical and sociocultural as well. Contacts between Greeks and Latins become closer after the Fourth Crusade (1204) with the establishment of Latin rule in the helladic lands and also after the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, when Greek refugees decited to find a new home in the West. The picture of their contacts is double fold, as it has either a colour of hostility or the icon of a cultural "bridge".

ΣΕΛΙ∆ΕΣ ΑΠΟ ΤΗ ΜΕΣΑΙΩΝΙΚΗ ΙΣΤΟΡΙΑ ΤΟΥ ΝΟΤΙΟΑΝΑΤΟΛΙΚΟΥ ΑΙΓΑΙΟΥ της Φωτεινής Β. Πέρρα Επίκουρης καθηγήτριας Μεσαιωνικής Ιστορίας Πανεπιστήμιο Πελοποννήσου (Καλαμάτα) Η Ρόδος, το «ρόδον της έριδος» Μνήμη David Jacoby (1928-2018) Το παρόν άρθρο εξετάζει την μεσαιωνική ιστορία της Ρόδου κυρίως κατά τα ύστερο-βυζαντινά χρόνια και το πέρασμα στην περίοδο της Ιπποτοκρατίας, με ιδιαίτερες αναφορές στις πηγές και την πρόοδο της σχετικής βιβλιογραφίας. Η μεσαιωνική ιστορία της Ρόδου ταυτίζεται τόσο με την περίοδο που το νησί ανήκε στη Βυζαντινή Αυτοκρατορία όσο και στη μεταγενέστερη εποχή κατά την οποία κυριάρχησε στο νησί των Ρόδων και στα υπόλοιπα ∆ωδεκάνησα το Τάγ-μα των Ιπποτών του Αγίου Ιωάννη ή απλούστερα Ιωαννιτών ή «Οσπιταλιέρων» (δηλ. Ιπποτών του Νοσοκομείου»), όπως αναφέρονται στις ελληνικές πηγές 1. Φυλλομετρώντας τις σελίδες από το μεσαιωνικό παρελθόν της Ρόδου θα στα-θούμε αρχικά στη βυζαντινή περίοδο, εξετάζοντας ενδιαφέρουσες πτυχές της, όπως τις μουσουλμανικές επιδρομές, και ιδιαίτερα το διάστημα της μετάβασης από τη βυζαντινή στη λατινοκρατούμενη Ρόδο, η οποία χρονικά εντοπίζεται στo δεύτερο μισό του 13 ου και στις αρχές του 14 ου αιώνα, αν και θα μπορούσαμε να ισχυριστούμε με βάση τη μελέτη των πρωτοτύπων πηγών της τελευταίας αυτής περιόδου, ότι στην ουσία η εποχή της βυζαντινής εξουσίας στο νησί (και στα πε-ρισσότερα από τα υπόλοιπα ∆ωδεκάνησα) κλείνει με την δυναστεία των Γαβαλά-δων, στα χρόνια c. 1204-c. 1250 μ.Χ. 1. Η παρούσα μελέτη βασίζεται σε αρχικό κείμενο διάλεξης που πραγματοποιήθηκε τον Μάϊο του 2018, κατόπιν πρόσκλησης από τον οργανισμό του Μεσαιωνικού Φεστιβάλ Ρόδου.

It is an attested fact that in the period between the 13th and the 15th century women apart from their traditional role as wifes and mothers acquired also the status of a ruler. The question that arises is what kind of leadership they had and under which circumstances they took over power.
There are presented specific case studies of women in power, in Latin Greece, Cyprus and the Crusader states. Each case has a special interest from the numismatic point of view, reflecting the historical circumstances under which these women held their rulership. It is also of great importance to understand the impact and the perception of their power, in order to reconstruct the image of female authority in the Latin East in general.
The focus is turned on the case studies of
• Marguerite of Sidon,
• Helena Angelina, dame of Karytaina,
• Isabelle of Villeharduin, princess of Achaia,
• Thamar Angelina Komnene of Epirus,
• Matilda of Hainaut, princess of Achaia,
• Charlotte of Lusignan, queen of Cyprus, and
• Catherine Cornaro, queen of Cyprus.
Interesting conclusions are drawn from the seven case studies and the respective coin issues discussed.
The numismatic evidence is examined with the assistance of primary literary sources in an attempt to understand if they confirm each other, if there is a “silence” of the sources concerning specific political parameters or if the latter can enlighten us on “reading” the archaeological/numismatic testimony in the right way. Thus we can have a picture on how women fared and acted in the Medieval Mediterranean, what kind of influence they exercised (if they exercised any) and how they perceived the authority given to them.
