Conceding land to small peasants-paroikoi during the Palaiologan period

ιστορική ανάλυση

• Ματθαίου, Μαρία

The topic of granting privileges has been repeatedly discussed. Less well-known is the practice of conceding land to small peasants with the purpose of increasing the area of cultivable land. Customarily, subject of concession was arable land and the peasants who benefited lived mainly in villages of Macedonia, as well as, in the district of Constantinople and Lemnos. Therefore, I deduce that the property of land was bestowed upon peasants, provided that they paid taxes for it. The aforementioned practice should be included in the broader policy of the state exercised by the Palaiologos dynasty. It aimed at urging their subjects to make the most of the existing natural resources and, mainly, to engage in the cultivation of land in order to compensate for the gap which was a result of the loss of Asia Minor
