Vryonis lists eighty towns and villages, thirty-four environs of towns and villages, and thirteen provinces that were “pillaged, enslaved, massacred, or besieged” by the invading Turks. He also quotes a fourteenth-century account by Demetrius Cydones of Turkish depredations in Anatolia:They took from us all the lands which we enjoyed from the Hellespont eastward to the mountains of Armenia. The cities they razed to the ground, pillaged the religious sanctuaries, broke open the graves, and filled all with blood and corpses. They outraged the souls of the inhabitants, forcing them to deny God and giving to them their own defiled mysteries. They abused their [Christians’] souls, alas, with wanton outrage! Denuding them of all property and their freedom, they left the [Christians as] weak images of slaves, exploiting the remaining strength of the wretched ones for their own prosperity.102
