>Constantine XI Palaiologos, the last Byzantine emperor, died defending Constantinople against the Ottoman hordes
"The city has fallen but I am still alive."[28] Then he tore off his imperial ornaments so as to let nothing distinguish him from any other soldier and led his remaining soldiers into a last charge where he was killed.
how many times this must be repated here? fucking hell
If he was so badass why did he get defeated and die like a little bitch?
The Ottomans were the only Chads there
>Then he tore off his imperial ornaments so as to let nothing distinguish him from any other soldier
I always doubt this part of the story. It sounds suspiciously like he attempted to escape instead .
Kamina
The Sultan offered him to trade the City for his life, de declined. So i think he knew what he was in for.
>Byzantines
>Chads
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Someone post the Ottoman anal vore pic
>"Eastern Roman Empire".
This is very difficult to say while keeping a straight face. I wonder who can, because indeed it is hard.
"Eastern", you say, grinning like Procopius did. "Eastern", it is its name. But when thinking of "Eastern", you think about how Rome was located in the West. You think about all those who succeeded Rome in the West. You think about how the Catholic Church continued Roman political system in the West.
But then, the funniest is coming: "Roman". Yes, now, you cannot contain your laughter. "Roman" it is called, despite the fact that this "Roman" body is standing on Greece, a land so harsh and poor that it took the Legions of Rome 66 years to set foot in it. A Greek-speaking and non-Roman Catholic people, yes, but still calling themselves "Roman".
And now, here is the end of the fun: "Empire". Now you fell on the ground, laughing so hard you can't breathe. An "Empire", a body made of dozens of pretenders to the throne, all fighting for themselves, giving strange names to their position, full of Despots or Autokrators. An "Empire" who will stay divided and eventually ruled by Turks.
I'm a byzantinist but a mere grad student and not focused on late byzo history so take what I said with a grain of salt
but iirc he thought he could hold the city with outside help, but it arrived too late and too few.
I dont know, maybe he was a bit of a both, a brave man but also someone who believed his chances
>The Sultan offered him to trade the City for his life, de declined.
So as not to look like a bitch.
But he could possibled tried to make a run for it and either live out the rest of his life in obscurity or -most likely- try to get support from somewhere and retake his city,
