The first lord of Salona,Thomas I d'Autremencourt(or de Stromoncourt), was named byBoniface of Montferrat,theKing of Thessalonica,in 1205. After the fall of the Thessalonica to the forces ofEpirus,and a short-lived Epirote occupation in c. 1210–1212, Salona became a vassal of thePrincipality of Achaea,but later came under increasing dependency from theDuchy of Athens.In 1318, the lordship came under the rule of theCatalanFadrique family, the leader of theCatalan Company,who claimed the title ofCountof Salona.Among the eighteen Catalan vassals of the area in 1380-1 the Count of Salona ranks first above CountDemitreand theMargrave of Bodonitsa.[1]Due to the unpopularity of the Dowager CountessHelena Asanina Kantakouzene,in 1394, the town opened its gates to theOttomansultanBayezid I.It fell for a short time into the hands of theDespotate of the Moreac. 1402.
