In this episode of The Story of the Balkans, Lucas and Luna explore the final days of the Byzantine Empire through the figure of Constantine XI Palaiologos. They discuss his desperate search for allies, the theological strife over church union, the colossal Walls of Theodosius, the devastating Ottoman bombardments, and the emperor's final stand at the Gate of St. Romanus. Drawing on accounts from George Sphrantzes and Nicolò Barbaro, the episode examines how a combination of overwhelming force, political isolation, and a single unlocked gate sealed the fate of Constantinople in 1453. The conversation also touches on the controversial legacy of the event, including the disputed site of Constantine's burial and the enduring legend of the Marble Emperor. #FallOfConstantinople #ConstantineXI #ByzantineEmpire #MehmedII #OttomanEmpire #WallsOfTheodosius #GreatBombard #Orban #GoldenHorn #GiovanniGiustiniani #HagiaSophia #1453 #GeorgeSphrantzes #NicolòBarbaro #MarbleEmperor #History #FexingoHistory #Balkans Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
