Chronicle of the Tocco

It covers the period of 1375-1425 and focuses on the ascent of the Tocco family, and especially Carlo I Tocco, Count palatine of Cephalonia and Zakynthos, to the rule over the Despotate of Epirus, as well as Carlo's conquest of territories in the Morea.

The anonymous author described events that occurred during his own lifetime and must have been present at some of them.

The author describes the Toccos as fair governors who care for the rights of their people.

He appears to cultivate a sense of early Greek nationalism and of xenophobia towards the Albanian tribes.

The Chronicle was published for the first time in 1975 by Giuseppe Schirò (junior) (Cronaca dei Tocco di Cefalonia; prolegomeni, testo critico e traduzione, Corpus Fontium Historiae Byzantinae 10.
