The eastern Mediterranean – settlement and change
Bookmark this page

·        Knowledge Eastern states to be quickly taken by the Arabs lively debate – speed and ease of conquests, and people just giving up cities.  Need to look at preceding period.

·        Traditional view of easy capitulation to Arabs (not Islamicization) was Monophysitism (esp. Syria and Egypt) – hostile and disaffected from Byzantine government – glad to shed it yoke.  Yet Chalcedonianism still strong in the east – esp. in Palestine and Nestorinism in Persia and Syria.  Other equally pertinent reasons.
