    • @user-zx1zt1hd3u
      @user-zx1zt1hd3u Před 4 lety +2

      @@EmpereurNapoleonBonaparte the succession dispute is pointless. The Roman Empire was divided in 395. Byzantium is Eastern Rome, only from a certain point Greek influence became predominant. At the same time, Otto the Great revived the Empire of the West, of which Charlemagne had been Emperor. For example, Russia, where I live, historically claimed the title of "third Rome" not just because, but because after the fall of Byzantium and Bulgaria Moskovskovia remained in fact the only major Orthodox state-the successor of the Byzantine tradition. In the North, as well as in Italy, many Byzantine refugees arrived, such as members of the clergy. Ivan the terrible's grandmother was the daughter of the last Byzantine Emperor.
      However, Germany/France has as much reason to be considered the successors of the Western Empire, because even Clovis was baptized by the Pope, while other barbarian kingdoms were mired in Arianism, and Charlemagne in fact restored the Western Empire within its borders and was crowned king in Rome. Otto continued his work.
      Simply there is Western, Catholic Empire, and there is Eastern, Orthodox.
