It includes an analysis of all social groups, the social networks and the patron-client relations proliferating in this period, and the distribution of social and political power between the different social groups and the state. The deficiencies inherent in Byzantine society are recognised as one of the main factors behind the fragmentation and the collapse of the Byzantine empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christos Malatras\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474460895\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474460897\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Christos Malatras","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46489476104447,"sku":"9781474460897","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_60e4b865-8aeb-47e4-a081-33766da2d628.jpg?v=1736953663","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-stratification-in-late-byzantium-christos-malatras-9781474460897","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
