Great vid and amazing summary as always but l am curious as to how you will cover the story of the Romans going forward, are you going to cover all three states in a parallel manner or focus on Nicea and simpy comment on the other two when they do something relevant to the story. Are you going to cover them seperatly once 1453 arrives and if yes, from their inception or from the Ottoman conquest of the city?
While I’m sure he’ll comment on the ends of the other successor realms I think the city/state is the main character so to say. I hope we get some comment on morea which I’m sure we will and theodoro up in crimea but he has found ways to re narrow the focus in very interesting ways.
The podcast is about THE Roman state. And so I will follow convention and tell the story of the government of Constantinople from 1261 to 1453. I can cover other states in separate episodes at some point.
@@TheHistoryofByzantiumPodcast Thanks for the clarification.
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things also I have a question as Muslim how many byzantine Princess got married to Muslim rulers thought history??
I'm only up to 1204. But that was a difficult thing for a Christian ruler to authorise. Because it meant she would have to give up her religion. So up to 1204 that has never happened. They have always married Christian rulers. That is about to change slightly because a bride is about to be sent to the Mongols but I think on the understanding that she can keep her faith. Also many Seljuk rulers in Anatolia had Byzantine Christian wives who were not expected to abandon their faith entirely.
@@TheHistoryofByzantiumPodcast thanks for the information I appreciate it and few ottoman rulers got married to byzantine Princess like Orhan Gazi and Mara Branković isn't byzantine Princess but she never becomes a Muslim as she was Murad II wife Mara when becomes mehmed II adopted son even Mohammed Al Fatih aka mehmed II biology mum passed away in 1449 two years before mehmed II become sultan for the second time. 😁👍
@@TheHistoryofByzantiumPodcast if I'm not wrong did Alp Arslan son get married to byzantine after Battle of Manzikert in 1071 also my fact of the day lion from Narnia is named after Alp Arslan.
@@TheHistoryofByzantiumPodcast As Muslim ruler myself I wouldn't mind byzantine Princess like Anna Komnene 🤣🤣🤣
@@TheHistoryofByzantiumPodcast makes sense in Islam it's sin to focus people to become Muslim and if we Muslim men marry non Muslim we shouldn't focus Islam like what is said in Qur'an if I can remember I think they can drink alcohol or do things which is against rules of Islam privately I'm no Islamic scholar if you are interested yourself probably has videos talking about this topic may Allah protect me from saying anything wrong and may Allah make me only speak the truth ameen 🙏
I cant believe they lost to the goddamn Bulgarians after all that success. What an anticlimax. I can imagine the frustration the survivors must have felt.
