Despotate of Epirus
The Despotate of Epirus was one of the Greek rump states of the Byzantine Empire founded after the Fourth Crusade by a branch of the Angelos dynasty. It claimed the Byzantine succession against Nicaea and Trebizond, and its rulers called themselves emperors at Thessalonica in 1227–1242. The Ottomans took its last lands in 1479.
