Overview
The Despotate of Arta was a former state established in 1358 by Albanian rulers. It was founded after the defeat of Nikephoros II Orsini, the local Despot of Epirus, by Albanian tribesmen in the Battle of Achelous in 1359. The Despotate of Arta ceased to exist in 1416 when it passed to Carlo I Tocco.
