Bodonitsa
Bodonitsa was a Frankish marquisate guarding the pass of Thermopylae in northern Greece. In 1337 Nicholas I Zorzi ruled the fortress and its small Catholic domain among Catalan and Byzantine neighbours.
The lordship had survived the Catalan conquest of nearby Latin states after 1311 and passed by marriage to the Venetian Cornaro and Zorzi families, the latter taking over in 1335. By 1380 the margrave ranked among the leading Catalan vassals. Ottoman forces under Mehmed I captured the fortress in 1414. Nicholas II Zorzi retained the margravial title, but the territory was never recovered.
