Thessaly
Thessaly was a region of central Greece ruled by the Doukas family until John II died without an heir in 1318. His lands fragmented, with local magnates taking the northwest and the Catalans occupying the south around Neopatras.
By 1348 the Serbian ruler Stephen Dušan had conquered Thessaly and Epirus. After Dušan died in 1355, his half-brother Simeon Uroš proclaimed himself emperor and ruled a separate state centered on Thessaly and Epirus until his death in 1370.
