Theodoro

Theodoro, or Gothia, was a Greek-speaking principality in the mountains of southern Crimea, centred on Mangup. It was ruled by the Gabras family and paid tribute to the Golden Horde.

Theodoro fought Genoese coastal colonies for harbours and recovered after Timur's raid in 1395. Around 1402 Prince Stephen moved to Moscow. In 1475 the Ottoman commander Gedik Ahmed Pasha took Mangup and carried off its last prince.
