Thanks to its wealth, the city was selected by the Frankish dynasty de la Roche as its capital, before it was permanently moved to Athens. After 1240, the Saint Omer family controlled the city jointly with the de la Roche dukes. The castle built by [[Nicholas II of Saint Omer]] on the Cadmea was one of the most beautiful of Frankish Greece. After its conquest in 1311 the city was used as a capital by the short-lived state of the [[Catalan Company]].

In 1379, the [[Navarrese Company]] took the city with the aid of the [[Latin Archbishop of Thebes]], [[Simon Atumano]].{{refn|group=n|Portions of the historical section were taken from the ''[[1911 Encyclopædia Britannica]]''.}}
