A detailed study of the institutions of the state after the loss of Constantinople, not a narrative history. The period also covers the beginning of the Palaeologus dynasty. Therefore there is not much on the international relations with either the Latins, Seljuks, or Bulgarians. It is quite useful within the limits of the intention.
