For 1,123 years, Constantinople remained the capital of the Byzantine Empire - the longest-lived and most continuously inspired Christian empire in the world. In this, the third and final volume of John Julius Norwich's magnificent and moving history, he tells of the dire consequences of the defeat by the Seljuk Turks at the battle of Manzikert in 1071; of the Fourth Crusade, whose Crusaders - led by the octogenarian Doge of Venice - turned their attention away from the Holy Places to hurl themselves against Constantinople, sacking the city and setting up a succession of Frankish thugs on the imperial throne; and of the two-hundred-year struggle by the restored Empire against the inexorable advance of the Ottoman Turks.

The fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans in 1453 marked the end of a thousand years of the Christian Roman Empire. Thereafter, world civilisation began a process of radical change. The West came to identify itself as Europe; the Russians were set on the path of autocracy; the Ottomans were transformed into a world power while the Greeks were left exiles in their own land. The loss of Constantinople created a void. How that void was to be filled is the subject of this book. Michael Angold examines the context of late Byzantine civilisation and the cultural negotiation which allowed the city of Constantinople to survive for so long in the face of Ottoman power. He shows how the devastating impact of its fall lay at the centre of a series of interlocking historical patterns which marked this time of decisive change for the late medieval world. This concise and original study will be essential reading for students and scholars of Byzantine and late medieval history, as well as anyone with an interest in this significant turning point in world history.

Ruling from 1299 until 1922, the Ottoman Empire was one of the biggest and longest-lasting empires in history. Although weak leadership, a failing economy, and wars with neighboring Russia and other countries led to its decline, the empire left a lasting legacy for its arts, trade, government, and multiculturalism. This appealing volume chronicles the rise and decline of the Ottoman Empire, including its beginnings in nomadic cultures, its toppling of the Byzantine Empire, and its peak under Süleyman the Magnificent, as well as the various conflicts in which it was often embroiled.

A comprehensive and sweeping history of the last 250 years of the Eastern Roman Empire, from the time of the disastrous Fourth Crusade to the dramatic and bloody seizure of the ancient capital city of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks. Drawing upon a rich array of original texts written by eyewitnesses and classical historians, this richly-researched work pulls no punches in highlighting the litany of inter-European squabbles--including those between the Roman and Eastern Catholic churches, and national and city divisions--which steadily weakened the great eastern capital city of Constantinople. At the same time, hordes of central Asians--accurately racially described in this book--were forming to seize the lands of the once-great Eastern Roman Empire in the Middle East and Asia Minor. The Asiatic advance--under several tribal names but always subservient to the flag of Islam--finally conquered all of the present-day Middle East and Turkey, seizing those lands from the Christian West. The city of Constantinople, depleted and weakened behind its 1,000-year-walls, was cut off, an island in a sea of Mohammedans. The inevitable siege and fall of that city, and the final chapter of the Roman Empire was written in blood, with the very last emperor cut down in the final defense against the invading Ottoman Turks. In addition, this work highlights the fact that the Ottoman Turks could not have achieved their victory without the aid of thousands of white renegades--from the Janissary elite troops to the Hungarian master armorer Urban, who built the great guns which knocked down Constantinople's walls. This work ends with the aftereffects of the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire, which included a revival in Greek learning in the West, and a realization that a united front was needed to halt the Turkish advance--a front which only became a reality over 200 years later when the Muslim invasion was finally halted at the gates of Vienna. Originally published as "The Destruction of the Greek Empire and the Story of the Capture of Constantinople by the Turks," this new edition has been completely reset, and contains all the original maps and images. Indexed. Cover image: the double-headed eagle, symbol of the house of the last ruling house of the Eastern Roman Empire.

Byzantium was the last bastion of the Roman Empire following the fall of the Western Roman Empire. It fought for survival for eight centuries until, in the mid-15th century, the emperor Constantine XI ruled just a handful of whittled down territories, an empire in name and tradition only. This lavishly illustrated book chronicles the history of Byzantium, the evolution of the defenses of Constantinople and the epic siege of the city, which saw a force of 80,000 men repelled by a small group of determined defenders until the Turks smashed the city's protective walls with artillery. Regarded by some as the tragic end of the Roman Empire, and by others as the belated suppression of an aging relic by an ambitious young state, the impact of the capitulation of the city resonated through the centuries and heralded the rapid rise of the Islamic Ottoman Empire.
