Negroponte

Negroponte was a Latin triarchy on Euboea, divided among lords after the Fourth Crusade. In 1337 the Lombard Peter dalle Carceri was a triarch under Venetian influence.

The Catalan Company took Karystos in 1317, and Venice bought it in 1365. When the last triarchs died in 1383 and 1390, their lands passed to Venice, which governed Euboea as a colony. In 1470 Sultan Mehmed II stormed Chalkis, bringing the whole island under Ottoman rule.
