}}Zichia ({{lang-gr|Ζιχία}}) or Zekchia (Ζηκχία), was a medieval kingdom on the northeastern shore of the Black Sea, inhabited by Circassians.[1]

The exact borders of the kingdom is unknown. According to the 10th-century Byzantine emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos ({{reign|913–959}}), it lay south of Tamatarcha (Tmutorokan), separated from it by the river Oukrouch (possibly to be identified with the Kuban River), and had a city called Nikopsis.{{sfn|Pritsak|1991|pp=2226–2227}} According to a legend about a visit of the Apostle Andrew there, it lay between Abasgia (Abkhazia) and the Cimmerian Bosporus (Strait of Kerch).{{sfn|Pritsak|1991|pp=2226–2227}}

In historical sources, the area first appears in the 6th century, when the Byzantine historian Procopius of Caesarea (Wars, VIII.4.2) records that the people of the Zechoi used to have a king appointed by the Roman Emperor, but that they had since become independent.{{sfn|Pritsak|1991|pp=2226–2227}} The Notitiae Episcopatuum of the Patriarchate of Constantinople mention an autocephalous archbishopric of Zichia from the 7th century on, associated with Tamatarcha or the Cimmerian Bosporus.{{sfn|Pritsak|1991|pp=2226–2227}}

At the time of Constantine VII, Byzantine dealings with the area were carried out by the inhabitants of Cherson.{{sfn|Pritsak|1991|pp=2226–2227}} In the 11th century, the Byzantines may have established control over the region, as attested by the seal of a Michael, "archon of Zichia, Khazaria, and Gothia", but this is disputed among modern scholars. In the 12th century, Emperor Manuel I Komnenos ({{reign|1143–1180}}) used the title "emperor of Zichia, Khazaria, and Gothia", but it is unclear to which extent this claim corresponded to reality.{{sfn|Pritsak|1991|pp=2226–2227}}

In the 13th century, the area was visited by Hungarian and Italian travellers, who called it Sychia (and other variants thereof). These travellers located Matrica (Tmutorokan) within Sychia.{{sfn|Pritsak|1991|pp=2226–2227}}

In 1333, Pope John XXII thanked the King Verzacht (Верзахта in Cyrillic script) of Zichia (Circassia) for his assistance in implementing the Christian faith among Circassians.[1]

In 1471, the ruler of Caffa, Uffizio di San Giorgio signed a contract with the ruler of Circassia, "the paramount lord of Zichia" for supplying of Caffa with large quantities of grain by Zichia.[2]
