The Chortaiton Monastery (Chortaeta, Chortaïtes, Chortaïton) is a former Cistercian abbey in Greece . It was three kilometers from Thessaloniki . It is likely to be the Chortaïtes Monastery, which still existed in the 14th century, on the northern slope of Mount Chortiatis .

history

Margrave Boniface I of Montferrat who, after the conquest of Constantinople in the Fourth Crusade in 1204 King of Thessaloniki had become summoned a convent Lucedio Abbey whose abbot was since 1205 Oglerius (1136-1214), from the filiation of the Branch La Ferte , with the monk Roger in the monastery abandoned by his Greek monks. The monastery is said to have been founded in 1212, after the death of Boniface, when the Kingdom of Thessaloniki was under the reign of Eustach of Flanders for Boniface's child, Demetrius von Montferrat . In 1223 Chortaiton received the previously Greek monastery of Sanctus Archangelus in Euboea as a subsidiary monastery from the Bishop of Negroponte . In 1224 the Frankish kingdom of Thessaloniki was conquered by the despotate Epirus ( Theodoros I Angelos ). It can be assumed that the Franconian monastery came to an end with the withdrawal of the Franks in 1224 and became a monastery of Orthodoxy again. A Hegoumenos Maximos is proven in the 14th century .
