Notes	When the Turks came to Anatolia, the economic situation was not good at all; Byzantium was in a severe financial crisis. The Christian farming people of Anatolia were under heavy tax burdens. W. Heyd searches for the reason for this in the emergence of a strong bourgeoisie in the western coastal cities; However, the development of a strong silk, wool, cotton and other textile industry among the Greek people living in Istanbul and the crowded cities around the Marmara Sea saved the situation to some extent. Since they sold almost all their products to crowded Byzantine cities such as Istanbul, Thessaloniki and Edirne, the Balkan tribes, which were closely connected to the Byzantine economic unit, were not immune from the effects of the economic crisis in the Byzantine empire.
