This chapter examines how Byzantine administration worked on the ground in the provinces of Hellas and Peloponnesos during the period 1180–1204. The Byzantine Empire was governed through a complex administrative system, predominantly military in nature, within which civilian and ecclesiastical sectors played a key role. The theme of Hellas and Peloponnesos was created in the first half of the eleventh century when the two provinces were combined into a single unit. It was administered by both military and civil appointees. The chapter considers the administrative structure of provincial government, focusing on the triad of military, civilian, and ecclesiastical administration. It also discusses the diocese under the metropolitan of Athens that extended over central Greece, along with the local government officials of Hellas and Peloponnesos.Less

This chapter examines the decline of populations in Pampanga and Bulacan during Spanish times. Under Spanish colonial rule, the southern part of the Central Luzon Plain was shared by Pampangans, who lived to the west of the Pampanga River, and Tagalogs, who lived to the east. The population of the Central Luzon Plain was concentrated around Manila Bay. This chapter first considers the socioeconomic background of Pampanga and Bulacan in 1570, with particular emphasis on their populations. It then discusses the introduction of tribute, vandala, and polo in Pampanga and Bulacan, along with ecclesiastical administration in both jurisdictions. It also analyzes demographic trends in Pampanga and Bulacan during the period, paying attention to population decline in the seventeenth century.Less
