Thebes' Textiles
The workshops of Thebes, already renowned in Byzantine times for their silk-weaving, have flourished anew under Frankish rule as the dukes of Athens encourage Italian merchants to invest in looms, dyeworks, and export networks that carry Theban samites and velvets to markets from Bruges to Alexandria. This revival of luxury textile production, combined with the fertile plains of Boeotia that supply raw materials, generate substantial wealth that funds castle-building, knightly retinues, and the lavish lifestyle of the Athenian court, ensuring that the duchy remains one of the richest and most economically sophisticated territories of the entire Frankokratia.
