The Catalan Company has remaining only two hundred and six horsemen, twelve hundred and fifty-six foot soldiers, and no clear leader when emperor Michael attacks, , trusting in his numerical superiority, only to be defeated in Apros, in Thrace, in July 1305.
The treachery of the emperor has unleashed what is to become known as the Catalan Revenge against the Empire.
Following the rules of chivalry, they challenge the Emperor himself, whose only answer is to kill their embassies, and to order the massacre of all Catalan and Aragonese living in Constantinople.
The Company’s answer will be he devastation of the regions of Thrace and Macedonia for the next two years.
