Abstract

For several years, the Macedonian kingdom enjoys a growing interest on the part of historians and archaeologists to explore different aspects of its history and greatly renewing our knowledge on the subject. This thesis proposes to renew once again our gains on Macedonia. If the institutions of the kingdom and its history are now widely known through the publication of many specialized monographs, means exercised by the Macedonian rulers to control their European possessions remain a marginal issue, which has not yet been studied completely. Whether civilian or military control, successive kings disposal many tools necessary for effective takeover : setting up of representatives of royal power enforcement decisions locally, punitive expeditions against rebel populations, population displacement for burst the opposition groups, but above all, establishing strongholds networks assigned to monitor the territory and its borders. These fortresses, particularly numerous on Macedonian kingdom, form one of the main characteristics of an effective territorial control. Through their study, it is possible to understand the development of Macedonia over the territorial conquests and annexations, and fully explain how it was controlled
