The feudalisation of Byzantine governance began in the 11th century with the introduction of pronoia (Greek, "care", "forethought") or tax revenue jurisdictions. Although they allowed nobles to be invested with the duty to collect tax for the Empire in return for part of the proceeds, the actual reason for their existence was because the Emperor wanted to use it as a means of keeping potential troublemakers away from the capital, Constantinople, as far as possible. It was assumed that candidates for pronoia would be pacified with the promise of additional financial gain, thus mitigating the potential for rebellion. Unlike in Europe, pronoia did not entail military service from the investees, and many who had gotten rich from tax farming were often reluctant to do so. By the mid-13th centur

abstract
  • The feudalisation of Byzantine governance began in the 11th century with the introduction of pronoia (Greek, "care", "forethought") or tax revenue jurisdictions. Although they allowed nobles to be invested with the duty to collect tax for the Empire in return for part of the proceeds, the actual reason for their existence was because the Emperor wanted to use it as a means of keeping potential troublemakers away from the capital, Constantinople, as far as possible. It was assumed that candidates for pronoia would be pacified with the promise of additional financial gain, thus mitigating the potential for rebellion. Unlike in Europe, pronoia did not entail military service from the investees, and many who had gotten rich from tax farming were often reluctant to do so. By the mid-13th century, new legislation eventually militarised the pronoia and even made them hereditary, effectively establishing European-style feudalism in the Byzantine Empire.
