In this episode, we look past the wars and sieges to examine how the Republic of Genoa quietly dominated Cyprus’s economy for nearly two centuries. We explore the role of the Fregoso family, who ruled as viceroys under nominal Venetian or Lusignan sovereignty, and their aggressive trade policies that enriched Genoa while often impoverishing the local Cypriot population. Lucas and Luna discuss the strategic importance of Famagusta’s Latin Quarter, the complex web of debts owed by the Lusignan kings to Genoese bankers, and the cultural imprint left by these Italian merchants in Nicosia and Limassol. You will hear about specific figures like Antoniotto Adorno and the political maneuvering that allowed a foreign merchant republic to effectively govern an island kingdom through financial leverage rather than direct conquest. This is a story of soft power, economic imperialism, and the quiet dominance of trade over territory in the late medieval Mediterranean. #Genoa #CyprusHistory #Fregoso #LusignanKingdom #MediterraneanTrade #Famagusta #Nicosia #AntoniottoAdorno #VeniceVsGenoa #MedievalEconomics #LatinQuarter #ByzantineSuccession #CypriotViceroy #ItalianMerchantRepublics #ColonialEconomy #15thCenturyHistory #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
