1250 CE

Villehardouin had built a castle (Grand Maigne) at the tip of Cape Taínaron (Cape Matapan) on the hill of Mezythra (French "Mistra") in March 1242 to protect nearby Lakedaimonia, the settlement at Sparta.

The Lakedaimonians soon evacuate to Mistra, three miles (four point eight kilometers) from Sparta, to pacify the Maina region.
