S1E3 Fall of Constantinople
Constantinople was a city that had stood for a thousand years, first under the rule of the Pagan Romans, then the Christian Byzantines, finally succumbing to the might of the Muslim Ottoman Empire. The city’s immense walls and protective seaside have ensured its safety and survival through countless attacks over the centuries. That is, until the combination of advanced technology and the sheer determination of one man brought an end to this once powerful and ancient empire. Join us as we discuss Sultan Mehmed II and his weapons that changed the medieval world.
