History
[ edit ]
During the Middle Ages a region under the name Koloneia (Greek : Κολωνεία) is located in the mountain region south of Korçë (southeast Albania) and north of Konitsa and Kastoria (northwestern Greece) at the west slopes of Grammos mountain range.[4] [5] [6]
According to the account of John Skylitzes , in c. 1018 , after the Byzantine conquest of Bulgaria , emperor Basil II created new themes at Koloneia, Dryinopolis , and Dyrrhachium , and settled former Byzantine prisoners of war to secure the Byzantine positions in Epirus against future enemy attacks from central and western Macedonia.[8] Duchy of Dyrrachion .[5] Sack of Constantinople at 1204 and the following partition of the Byzantine Empire Koloneia was granted to the Republic of Venice .[6] Despotate of Epirus and formed one of the themes of the Despotate. Following the Battle of Pelagonia in 1259 Koloneia was ceded to the Empire of Nicaea .[9]
In a text by Emperor John VI Kantakouzenos (r. 1347-1354) whose 'History' covers the years 1320-1356, there is mention of local Albanians ; “While the emperor was spending about eight days in Achrida (Ohrid ), the Albanian nomads living in the region of Deabolis (Devoll) appeared before him, as well as those from Koloneia (Kolonja ) and those from the vicinity of Ohrid. ” This meeting was estimated to have taken place at around February 1328.[10]
One source says that one of the two main waves of Albanian movements coming from the north entered Kolonjë in the 14th century, with the wave also affecting the neighboring Dangëllia region.[11] Roman period of the area.[12]
