Peter Frankopan

Peter Frankopan (b. 1971)[1] is a senior research fellow at Worcester College, Oxford, the director of the Oxford Centre for Byzantine Research,[2][3] and the author of a bestseller 2015 The Silk Roads: A New History of the World.[4][5] He also wrote the 2012 book The First Crusade: The Call from the East.[6]

He is the brother of Lady Nicholas Windsor. The Doimi de Lupis family reverted to the name of Frankopan and title of Prince, after the fall of communism in Croatia. The Court of Perugia confirmed the usage of the name and titles of the Doimi de Frankopan family in a judgment[7], having previously examined the genealogical tables of the family and the grant of the title of Prince in 1425, with sanction of anyone who disputes this. The Doimi de Lupis family was also granted a knighthood by Emperor Franz Joseph I in 1855 and 1865 when Croatia was under Austrian hegemony.
