At the distribution of
Byzantine state, the Aegina was to be given
to the Venetians, but it was linked with the
southern Varonia of
Karistou of Evia and
it was given by the king Vonifatio
in the Ravano Dallekartseri.
When the Fragans were overcome by the
Katalanous, the administration of Aegina
devolved to the company of Katalaniann with
governor Don
Iakovo, illegitimate
son of king of Sicily Frederick B
who later delivered
him the newer brother of Vonifatio
Fadrigo.
To the season of Petros
D'Aragon, Aegina devolved to the second-born son of Vonifatio,
Ioannis and from then to the Catalan house of
Alioto Kaopena remained until 1451
a.d. In 1452 the Alioto
Kaopena,
who rule then the Aegina, was subjugated
in the Venetians in order to avoid the danger of Turkish raid. Aegina this
season presented big growth in the agriculture and the Venice undertook
its protection with the term the Alioto
Kaopena it supplies her possessions in Greece with wheat. It was agreed
also that, when the Kaopena loses the power of Aegina, for any reason,
this for devolving to the hands of Venetians.
Thus in 1451, when Alioto
died, Aegina devolved to the power of Venetians, despite the
protest of Antonios Atsoli, duke of Athens,
because the groom of Antonellos
Kaopenas lost his rights in the power of Aegina. Aegina bore many trials
when the wars between the Turks and the Venetians
began in the end of 16th century.
The Kemal Reis
took the castle and the capital Paleahora
and
undertook 2.000 residents, while the 30 last
years of Venetokratias had a hard time from
these. In October 1537 the pirate Hiredin
Varvarosas destroyed Aegina completely. It
slaughtered all the men and took with him for the sklavopazara, 6000
women.
In order that reports baron
BIANCARD when it visited few days later the island did not see (as
it says) nor a individual living... Those who
had remained provisionally had of course been hidden in the mountains and
many of them left the island after. Later
however the island came slowly back
to the fugitives, Aeginites
and the life refilled the Aegina. In September 1687 occupied the Venetian
Morozinis
the island and with the treaty of Karlovits
remained possession Venetiki.
In 1715, after the fall of Corinthos,
the Aegina devolved almost peace to the Turks
and granted them finally with the treaty of Passarovits
(1718).
In the revolution of Orlof,
when the Russians abandoned Peloponnese (1770), the
islanders,
except the Syrians,
were subjugated in the Russian fleet. Though, the
Russian's
possession in Aegina was maintained only until 1772 and when in
1774 was signed the treaty of Kainartzi, the
islands came back in the sovereignty of Sultan. When the
new Russian-Turkish war
began (1787 - 1792) and Greeks was prompted by
Lambros Katsoni for
new revolution, most
islanders showed mistrust in the new preachings
of Megalis Ekaterini - Voithos
of Katsoni became then the Androutsos,
father of Odysseus, which with his armatolitic
teams went to the boats in order to help more substantially - in 1792
after the naval battle of Souniou
the boat of Androutsou
that had armatolous, because trikimias,
fell in the Aegina, where the Turks struck
at them - the Androutsos achieved it's
escapes and was resorted to the Mani with the Katsoni.
Big activity showed also Aegina at the revolution of 1821.
In September 1826 the seat of
Greek Administration was installed in Aegina and
in January of
1828 the first under the Kapodstrian
Greek government. Thus the Aegina has the historical chance is rendered
the First Capital of newer Greek state (1828-1829).
