Abstract:
Byzantine Thrace has been conquered by Ottomans between the years1352-1373. This conquest changed the demographic image of the whole area.We can note some important differences between the two medieval townsXantheia and Didymoteichon (both in Western Thrace) concerning evolutionsbefore and after Ottoman conquest: Political conditions during the latebyzantine period influenced their demography before Ottoman invasion.Although the two towns belong to the same geographic area, after the Ottomanconquest they played a completely different military and economicalrole, which reflects the difference in their demographic status.
