Karte mit der geographischen Aufteilung des Byzantinischen Reiches nach dem Vierten Kreuzzug, 1204

Die Partitio terrarum imperii Romaniae (lateinisch „Länderteilung des Romanischen Reiches“),[1] oder Partitio regni Graeci[2] („Teilung des Griechischen Reiches“), war ein nach der Eroberung von Konstantinopel (1204) geschlossenes Abkommen zwischen den Teilnehmern des Vierten Kreuzzugs über die Teilung des Byzantinischen Reichs. Es entstanden das Lateinische Kaiserreich sowie als byzantinische Nachfolgestaaten das Kaiserreich Nikaia, das Kaiserreich Trapezunt sowie das Despotat Epirus. Neben dem Chrysobull des Alexios III. von 1198 stellt die Partitio Romaniae die Hauptquelle für die administrative Unterteilung des Byzantinischen Reichs dar. Sie gibt auch Auskunft über die Gebiete, welche zu dieser Zeit noch unter byzantinischer Herrschaft standen.[3]

Der Vertrag ist in mehreren venezianischen Manuskripten überliefert: im Liber Albus (fols. 34ff.), Liber Pactorum (Vol. I, fols. 246ff.; Vol. II, fols. 261ff.), Codex Sancti Marci (284, folio 3), und in den Muratorii codices Ambrosiani I und II. Die erste kritische Ausgabe der Texte erstellten 1856 Gottlieb Tafel und Georg Thomas für die damalige Kaiserliche Akademie der Wissenschaften in Wien.[4]. 1965 veröffentlichte A. Carile eine Textausgabe mit Kommentar.[5][6]

Im März 1204, kurz vor der Eroberung von Konstantinopel (1204), schlossen Enrico Dandolo, der Dogen von Venedig, Markgraf Bonifatius von Montferrat, Graf Balduin I. von Flandern und Graf Ludwig von Blois ein vorläufiges Abkommen, in welchem sie die Länder des Byzantinischen Reichs zukünftig unter sich aufteilten.[7] Der Text des Abkommens ist unter den Akten von Papst Innozenz III. überliefert.[8] Demzufolge würden die Venezianer ihre vom oströmischen Kaiser verliehenen Privilegien weiter behalten. Ein zu gleichen Anteilen aus Venezianern und Kreuzfahrern zusammengesetztes Kollegium sollte nach der Eroberung Konstantinopels den Kaiser des Lateinischen Kaiserreichs wählen. Diesem stünden ein Viertel des gesamten byzantinischen Gebietes zu, sowie der Blachernen- und Bukoleon-Palast in der Stadt. Die übrigen drei Viertel sollten zu gleichen Teilen zwischen Venedig und den übrigen Kreuzfahrern aufgeteilt werden.[9] Am 9. Mai wurde Balduin von Flandern zum Lateinischen Kaiser gewählt. Dem Chronisten Gottfried von Villehardouin zufolge sollte Bonifatius die Gebiete um den Bosporus und das Marmarameer „nach der Türkei hin“ und „die griechische Insel“ erhalten. Um den offenbar Unzufriedenen zu besänftigen, überließ Balduin ihm stattdessen das Königreich Thessaloniki.[10]

Nach Heyd, Zakythinos und Carlie Ende September oder Anfang Oktober 1204, nach Oikonomides gleich nach der Eroberung im April oder Mai 1204 verfasste ein Kommittee von 12 Venezianern und 12 anderen Kreuzfahrern das Abkommen.[11] Aufgrund ihrer genauen Landeskenntnis spielte Venedig in den Verhandlungen die Hauptrolle. Viele der letztlich beschlossenen Übereinkünfte gehen auf einen Chrysobull des byzantinischen Kaisers Alexios III Angelos von 1198 zurück.[12] Demnach erhielt der lateinische Kaiser die direkte Kontrolle über ein Viertel des byzantinischen Territoriums, drei Achtel des Reichsgebiets sowie drei Achtel des Satdtgebiets von Konstantiniopel einschließlich der Hagia Sophia standen Venedig zu, die restlichen drei Achtel sollten den anderen Kreuzfahrer-Anführern zugeteilt werden. Auf dem Boden dieser teilung wäre venedig zur dominierenden Macht im Lateinischen Reich aufgestiegen. Entsprechend nannte sich der Doge von Venedig nun: „Dominator quartae et dimidiae partis totius Romaniae – Herrscher von anderthalb Viertelteilen ganz Romaniens“.

Bestimmungen zu einzelnen Gebieten

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Die Territorien wurden aufgeteilt in den Anteil des Dogen und der Commune Veneciarum (pars domini Ducis et communis Venetiae), dem Anteil des lateinischen Kaisers (pars domini Imperatoris), und dem der Pilger oder Kreuzfahrer (pars Peregrinorum).

Kiesewetter proposes that Maio di Monopoli (alias Matthew Orsini) may have taken control of the islands in 1206 from the Byzantines, who had recovered them since Margaritus's demise in 1294.[19]
Provintia Colonie Conchilari. Canisia.Vorlage:Sfn the province of Koloneia, Chlerenon, and Kanina Venice Epirus Tafel and Thomas proposed a series of emendations and identifications to "Colonie cum Cycladibus.

Menke and Jean Longnon, who emended the text to read "Provintia Colonie cum Chilari, Canisia.", i.e. Koloneia in Epirus, Kjari, and Konitsa, while Dionysios Zakythinos proposed identifying "Chilari" with Chlerenon, and "Canisia" with Kanina.Vorlage:Sfn

Tafel and Thomas proposed identifying Lopadi as the island of Levitha,Vorlage:Sfn but according to Zakythinos it is equally likely to refer to Lopadion in Mysia, which is attested as an episkepsis in the 1198 chrysobull, since portions of the text have evidently been moved around so that they no longer correspond to their original arrangement by geographic proximity.Vorlage:Sfn Carile finds the identification with Lopadion less likely, however.Vorlage:Sfn

Provintia Optimati.Vorlage:Sfn the province of Optimatoi Emperor Northern Asia Minor The theme of the Optimatoi encompassed the parts of Asia Minor closest to Constantinople, with Nicomedia as its capital. Its mention apart from Nicomedia in 1204 may be the result of a confusion by the Latin writers, but both the rest of the Partitio and the 1198 chrysobull indicate a breaking up of the province sometime in the 12th century into smaller districts. In 1198, a separate "province of Mesothynia" is mentioned along with the "province of Nicomedia", which is absent in 1204.Vorlage:SfnVorlage:Sfn

However, these cities are mentioned separately from the province both in the 1198 chrysobull and in the Partitio.[20] Helene Ahrweiler interpreted the evidence to suggest that Neokastra did indeed originally encompass the three cities, but that in 1198 Adramyttion may have formed a separate district, and that the separation between the cities and the province evidenced in the Partitio was the result of a copyist's error.[21]

Presepe et Dodecanisos.Vorlage:Sfn the province of Prespes and the Cyclades Crusaders Western Macedonia and Aegean Islands The term "Dodekanesos" ("Twelve Islands") first appears in Byzantine sources in the 8th century as a naval command encompassing the southern Aegean Sea. The term remained in use throughout the medieval period for the Cyclades, and only in the 19th/20th centuries became transferred to the modern Dodecanese.Vorlage:Sfn Its placement in the text is unusual, lying between areas of continental Greece; perhaps the result of a scribal error or, according to Jean Longnon, a result of a trade, whereby Ostrovos, originally claimed by the Crusaders, and the Cyclades, claimed by Venice, were exchanged (apart from Andros and Tinos), thus explaining the unexpected placement of both entries in the text of the treaty.Vorlage:Sfn

Based on the forms of the names, the source material for the compilation of the treaty was in Greek, while the prevalence of fiscal terms like episkepsis points to the use of the cadastral and tax registers of the central Byzantine administration.Vorlage:SfnVorlage:Sfn

Several areas are left out of the Partitio. In Europe, the lands of Macedonia and Western Thrace, between the Maritsa and Vardar rivers, as well as the northeastern Peloponnese, Boeotia, and central Euboea, are absent. These were lands assigned to Boniface of Montferrat, and thus evidently excluded from the general partition. This fact also helps to assign the terminus post quem for the treaty, namely the agreement of 16 May 1204 between Boniface and Baldwin of Flanders that established the Kingdom of Thessalonica.Vorlage:Sfn

As Zakythinos points out, the territorial division shown in the Partitio and in the 1198 chrysobull for Asia Minor is much more conservative, and reflects far closer the "traditional" thematic structure than in the European provinces.Vorlage:Sfn On the other hand, the two documents differ considerably in the extent of territory they mention: the 1198 chrysobull contains the central and northern portions of western Asia Minor, but also the southern shore with Attaleia, Cilicia, and even Antioch, whereas in the Partitio, includes the Black Sea shore from Paphlagonia up to Pavrae.Vorlage:Sfn

The Partitio Romaniae initiated the period of the history of Greece known as Frankokratia or Latinokratia ("Frankish/Latin rule"), where Catholic West European nobles, mostly from France and Italy, established states on former Byzantine territory and ruled over the mostly Orthodox native Byzantine Greeks. The provisions of the Partitio Romaniae were not fully carried out; much of the Byzantine realm fell into the hands not of the crusaders who had sacked the capital but of the local Byzantine Greek nobles, who established the Byzantine successor states of the Despotate of Epirus, the Empire of Nicaea and the Empire of Trebizond, while the Crusaders also squabbled among themselves. The Latin Empire itself, consisting of the area surrounding Constantinople, Thrace, and the Sea of Marmara was also drawn into a disastrous conflict with the powerful Second Bulgarian Empire. Latin rule became most firmly established and lasted longest in southern Greece (the Principality of Achaea and the Duchy of Athens), as well as the Aegean islands, which came largely under the control of Venice.
