Laonikos Chalkokondyles, also latinized as Laonicus Chalcocondyles, was a late medieval Greek historian from Athens. He is known for his Demonstrations of Histories in ten books, which record the last 150 years of the Byzantine Empire. According to historian Angeliki Laiou, Chalkokondyles was the first to use Byzantine to refer to the state as he advocated a neo-Hellenic identity of the Romans.
