Sagudates
The Sagudates (Greek: Σαγουδάται, Sagoudatai) were a South Slavic tribe that lived in the region of Macedonia, in the area between Thessaloniki and Veria.[1]
History
[edit]The Sagudates were first attested in a Byzantine document dated 686 as allies of the Avars and besiegers of Thessalonica in an alliance with two other South Slavic tribes, the Rynchines and the Drugubites.[2][3] In the 7th century, the Sagudates, along with other tribes, used logboats to plunder the coasts of Thessaly.[4] In the 9th century, the Sagudates started living in mixed villages with the Drugubites and paid taxes to the Byzantine authorities of Thessalonica.[1]
