No matter who you are, no matter your ethnic or religious background, nobody can doubt the bravery of this man. He sought to defend the legacy of Rome with his dying breath, and that he did, he refused to let his city fall like nothing. Constantine died along with the Roman Empire, but that legacy always lives on.

It damn near brings tears to my eyes when I think about the Fall of Constantinople and the sacrifice made by Constantine XI. He faced impossible odds and yet, instead of letting the over 2200 year old Roman Empire fade away with a whimper, he chose to fight right along side his men and died protecting his people, city, and empire. Constantine XI truly was a great person to be the last Roman Emperor. May the Marble Emperor rise one day and reconquer Constantinople and unite the Romans once again.

Fraudulent and peace breaker Mr.Constantine-XI : 1
However, Emperor Constantine’s diplomatic relations with Venice ( in Italy) were complicated by his aggressive actions toward the republic while despot of the Morea ( in Greece). Specifically, Constantine’s capture of Patras ( Greece), a port city in the Moreote northwest, irritated Venice ( catholic)and characterized the future emperor as a maverick. In the fifteenth century, the city of Patras was administered by its Latin archbishop, Pandolfo Malatesta, under the suzerainty of the Papacy. The Venetians briefly held possession of the city between 1408 and 1419, but sold the city to the Latin ruler of Epiros, Carlo II Tocco, who later placed the city under Rome’s protection. However, the Venetians still coveted Patras as a commercial center and conducted a brisk trade within the city. They also still viewed the city as a target for Venetian territorial expansion in the Morea, as Patras was located across the Corinthian Gulf from their base of Naupaktos.
However, after John VIII established his brother Constantine in the northwest Morea as despot, the port city was a prime target for him as well. The despot did not waste time attacking the city. Constantine moved against Patras in 1428, shortly after his arrival in the Morea. However, even with the aid of his brothers John and Thomas, the despot could not capture the city. He accepted instead an annual tribute of 500 gold coins from the city’s defenders. While the Venetians in Naupaktos were not pleased with this arrangement between Patras and Despot Constantine, it still allowed them to maintain their commercial ties to the city as before.
Constantine’s subsequent actions surprised Venetian observers. Almost immediately, he laid siege to the city once again, this time with a larger, more committed army. The despot actively engaged the defenders, barely escaping death during a skirmish when archers killed his horse from under him. After a brief but intense struggle, the defenders and the despot reached an agreement, since the bishop was traveling through Italy during Constantine’s sieges of Patras. If he did not return after a month, the defenders would surrender to Constantine and proclaim him their overlord. When the metropolitan did not return in the allotted time, Patras surrendered to Despot Constantine, although the city’s citadel, defended by men loyal to the bishop (including some
Venetians), did not surrender for another twelve months. Constantine’s occupation of Patras annoyed the Venetians and frustrated their plans for domination over the city. In addition, the Byzantine capture of Patras threatened the status of Venetian mercantile interests in the city, as the despot could force new taxes to finance his further Moreote campaigns. Despot Constantine’s actions against Patras would become important after his accession to the throne in 1449, as the military campaign established him as a maverick in Venetian eyes. Even twenty years later (1453), the Republic of Venice viewed Constantine as a threat to their possessions in Greece and throughout the Levant, and was reluctant to provide him with aid. "

Fraudulent and peace breaker Constantine-XI : 2
"Since Byzantium was essentially a vassal state of the Ottoman Empire, the Ottaman sultan often oversaw changes in leadership. When John VIII died on October 31, 1448 without an heir, his two brothers Constantine and Demetrios contested the Byzantine throne. While Demetrios, a fervent opponent of the west, had the support of the anti-Unionist faction in Constantinople, Constantine was significantly more popular both in the Morea and in Constantinople. In addition, he possessed the support of his mother, Empress Helena, which added overwhelming credibility to Constantine’s claim to the empire. However, since the Byzantines were technically vassals of the Ottoman sultan,
Constantine agreed to submit the Byzantine succession to Murad-II ( Ottaman sultan at that time) for arbitration. Such an act of deference was extremely uncharacteristic of Constantine, especially because of his previous actions toward the Ottomans.
On December 6, 1448, George Sphrantzes ( one of the chief advisor) led an embassy to Murad’s court, and Constantine was chosen as the Byzantine emperor.
The new emperor hoped that his deference to Ottoman authority would help pacify the sultan while he deliberated on ways to combat the Turks. Once Sphrantzes returned from his embassy, the emperor sent Murad lavish gifts to commemorate a new period of peace between them.
Through this episode, Constantine showed false obsequiousness toward Murad-II in order to mask his true anti-Turkish sentiments. This was shown through his
attacks in Greece during and after the Crusade of Varna.

"Emperor Constantine XI’s actions toward the Turks while despot of the Morea (from 1443 to 1448) show that he preferred to take decisive, aggressive action against the Ottomans, and that his acts of deference were merely a stalling tactic. The emperor, while ruling southern Greece, was clearly anti-Turkish in his views and policies. Constantine’s earliest actions against the Ottomans coincided with the Crusade of Varna, launched from Hungary in 1444. The Byzantines learned of the crusade in 1443, when John VIII went on a hunting expedition with the Italian traveler Cyriacus of Ancona.The Greeks thought of the crusade in two ways. First, they believed that if the Hungarians could fight their way to Constantinople, the city’s immediate encirclement would be relieved. They could then concentrate on re-conquering Thrace from the weakened Turks. Second, the
Greeks of the Morea, Constantine included, counted upon the crusade to provide a
necessary distraction so that they could reoccupy portions of central Greece.The despot used the distraction that the Western crusaders provided to conquer
several cities and towns from the Turks in Attica and Thessaly. The chronicler Doukas
explains that Constantine “foresaw the total destruction of the Turks” during his campaign throughout late 1444 and 1445. While the despot ( Constantine-XI) made considerable gains early in the campaign, once the crusaders were defeated at Varna, the sultan could focus his attention upon the Greeks. Despite overwhelming numbers of Turkish troops, Constantine refused to return control of the conquered territories to Sultan Murad II. Instead, he prepared for battle at the newly refortified Hexamilion wall across the Isthmus of Corinth. The Byzantines of the Morea also placed more emphasis upon exploiting human weaknesses in siege warfare than upon technological advantage, since they did not possess the financial resources necessary to outpace the Ottomans in military technology. Therefore, the isthmus walls were built in a medieval fashion, and did not possess any defensive artillery to discourage an Ottoman assault. Constantine misjudged the quality of his fortifications, as Murad, using gunpowder artillery, smashed through
them and routed the defenders. The Turks took over 60,000 prisoners, and Constantine barely escaped with his life. This episode shows Constantine’s tendency toward rash, aggressive actions against the Ottoman Turks even before his accession to the Byzantine throne.

Remember, it was 100,000 (Ottomans) against 10,000 Greeks. Yet they still struggled to take Constantinople, on the 18th of April an estimate of 18,000 ottomans died due to the heavy resistance from the Greeks. Not only could they barely take Constantinople, during the occupation they failed to rewrite history of making themselves the inventors of science and geography.

As a Hungarian I feel deep respect to Constantinople. John Hunyadi the Hungarian governor and military leader who defeated many times the Ottomans was awaited in the Constantinople as a savior (as I read a Greek poem about the battle of Varna). UOrban the Hungarian cannon maker first offered his services to the Hungarian king the to the Byzantine emperor but they have not enough money, so unfortunately he moved to the sultan who paid him for his huge Orban cannon which destroyed the wall of the city. Anna of Hungary (1260-1281) was a Byzantine empress, she was the daughter of Stephen V of Hungary and the granddaughter of Bela IV of Hungary. Anna married Andronikos II Palaiologos, every Palaiologos emperor to the Fall of Constantinople in 1453 descended from her through her son Michael. Margaret of Hungary (1175-1223) was a Byzantine empress, she was the daughter of Béla III of Hungary. She was the sister of Andrew II of Hungary who led the biggest crusader army ever. Saint Irene of Hungary (1088-1134) was a Byzantine empress (East Roman Empire), she was the daughter of Saint Ladislaus I of Hungary. She and John II Komnenos had eight children. She was the mother of the Byzantine emperor Manuel I Komnenos and the grandmother of the Byzantine emperor Alexios II Komnenos. The Hungarian heir Béla, younger brother of the Hungarian king Stephen III, was sent to Constantinople to be educated in the emperor's court. Manuel intended the youth to marry his daughter, Maria, and to make him his heir, thus securing the union of Hungary with the Empire. In Constantinople Béla was renamed to Alexius and received the title of despot, which had previously been applied only to the emperor himself. In 1169, Manuel's young wife gave birth to a son, thus depriving Béla of his status as heir of the Byzantine throne. Then, in 1172, Stephen died childless, and Béla went home to take his throne and became Béla III of Hungary. Before leaving Constantinople, he swore a solemn oath to Manuel that he would always "keep in mind the interests of the emperor and of the Romans". Béla III kept his word: as long as Manuel lived, he made no attempt to retrieve his Croatian inheritance, which he only afterward reincorporated into Hungary.

You always defeated the Ottomans, so tell me how many years you lived under the Ottoman occupation, Hungarian brother. I say brother, after all, you are also Turkish, even if your religion has changed, the result does not change.
@@sinankurtulus4844 After 200 years wars when Hungary declined and Ottoman Empire rised Ottomans occupied 1/3 of Hungary and Hungary became 150 years battlefield, but Ottomans were unable to move forward or conquer full Hungary
@@aliengalaxy6096 Hungary during the Ottoman period was the southern and central parts of the Kingdom of Hungary in the late Middle Ages and was conquered and ruled by the Ottoman Empire from 1541 to 1699. Ottoman rule covered almost all of the Great Hungarian Plain and Southern Transdanubia.

Thanks🙏🙏✝️💖☪️
Talking is cheap, jihad anyway
See below ,what type of duties he carried out and choose to die with his people and Empire
Fraudulent and peace breaker Mr.Constantine-XI : 1
However, Emperor Constantine’s diplomatic relations with Venice ( in Italy) were complicated by his aggressive actions toward the republic while despot of the Morea ( in Greece). Specifically, Constantine’s capture of Patras ( Greece), a port city in the Moreote northwest, irritated Venice ( catholic)and characterized the future emperor as a maverick. In the fifteenth century, the city of Patras was administered by its Latin archbishop, Pandolfo Malatesta, under the suzerainty of the Papacy. The Venetians briefly held possession of the city between 1408 and 1419, but sold the city to the Latin ruler of Epiros, Carlo II Tocco, who later placed the city under Rome’s protection. However, the Venetians still coveted Patras as a commercial center and conducted a brisk trade within the city. They also still viewed the city as a target for Venetian territorial expansion in the Morea, as Patras was located across the Corinthian Gulf from their base of Naupaktos.
However, after John VIII established his brother Constantine in the northwest Morea as despot, the port city was a prime target for him as well. The despot did not waste time attacking the city. Constantine moved against Patras in 1428, shortly after his arrival in the Morea. However, even with the aid of his brothers John and Thomas, the despot could not capture the city. He accepted instead an annual tribute of 500 gold coins from the city’s defenders. While the Venetians in Naupaktos were not pleased with this arrangement between Patras and Despot Constantine, it still allowed them to maintain their commercial ties to the city as before.
Constantine’s subsequent actions surprised Venetian observers. Almost immediately, he laid siege to the city once again, this time with a larger, more committed army. The despot actively engaged the defenders, barely escaping death during a skirmish when archers killed his horse from under him. After a brief but intense struggle, the defenders and the despot reached an agreement, since the bishop was traveling through Italy during Constantine’s sieges of Patras. If he did not return after a month, the defenders would surrender to Constantine and proclaim him their overlord. When the metropolitan did not return in the allotted time, Patras surrendered to Despot Constantine, although the city’s citadel, defended by men loyal to the bishop (including some
Venetians), did not surrender for another twelve months. Constantine’s occupation of Patras annoyed the Venetians and frustrated their plans for domination over the city. In addition, the Byzantine capture of Patras threatened the status of Venetian mercantile interests in the city, as the despot could force new taxes to finance his further Moreote campaigns. Despot Constantine’s actions against Patras would become important after his accession to the throne in 1449, as the military campaign established him as a maverick in Venetian eyes. Even twenty years later (1453), the Republic of Venice viewed Constantine as a threat to their possessions in Greece and throughout the Levant, and was reluctant to provide him with aid. "

Fraudulent and peace breaker Constantine-XI : 2
"Since Byzantium was essentially a vassal state of the Ottoman Empire, the Ottaman sultan often oversaw changes in leadership. When John VIII died on October 31, 1448 without an heir, his two brothers Constantine and Demetrios contested the Byzantine throne. While Demetrios, a fervent opponent of the west, had the support of the anti-Unionist faction in Constantinople, Constantine was significantly more popular both in the Morea and in Constantinople. In addition, he possessed the support of his mother, Empress Helena, which added overwhelming credibility to Constantine’s claim to the empire. However, since the Byzantines were technically vassals of the Ottoman sultan,
Constantine agreed to submit the Byzantine succession to Murad-II ( Ottaman sultan at that time) for arbitration. Such an act of deference was extremely uncharacteristic of Constantine, especially because of his previous actions toward the Ottomans.
On December 6, 1448, George Sphrantzes ( one of the chief advisor) led an embassy to Murad’s court, and Constantine was chosen as the Byzantine emperor.
The new emperor hoped that his deference to Ottoman authority would help pacify the sultan while he deliberated on ways to combat the Turks. Once Sphrantzes returned from his embassy, the emperor sent Murad lavish gifts to commemorate a new period of peace between them.
Through this episode, Constantine showed false obsequiousness toward Murad-II in order to mask his true anti-Turkish sentiments. This was shown through his
attacks in Greece during and after the Crusade of Varna.

"Emperor Constantine XI’s actions toward the Turks while despot of the Morea (from 1443 to 1448) show that he preferred to take decisive, aggressive action against the Ottomans, and that his acts of deference were merely a stalling tactic. The emperor, while ruling southern Greece, was clearly anti-Turkish in his views and policies. Constantine’s earliest actions against the Ottomans coincided with the Crusade of Varna, launched from Hungary in 1444. The Byzantines learned of the crusade in 1443, when John VIII went on a hunting expedition with the Italian traveler Cyriacus of Ancona.The Greeks thought of the crusade in two ways. First, they believed that if the Hungarians could fight their way to Constantinople, the city’s immediate encirclement would be relieved. They could then concentrate on re-conquering Thrace from the weakened Turks. Second, the
Greeks of the Morea, Constantine included, counted upon the crusade to provide a
necessary distraction so that they could reoccupy portions of central Greece.The despot used the distraction that the Western crusaders provided to conquer
several cities and towns from the Turks in Attica and Thessaly. The chronicler Doukas
explains that Constantine “foresaw the total destruction of the Turks” during his campaign throughout late 1444 and 1445. While the despot ( Constantine-XI) made considerable gains early in the campaign, once the crusaders were defeated at Varna, the sultan could focus his attention upon the Greeks. Despite overwhelming numbers of Turkish troops, Constantine refused to return control of the conquered territories to Sultan Murad II. Instead, he prepared for battle at the newly refortified Hexamilion wall across the Isthmus of Corinth. The Byzantines of the Morea also placed more emphasis upon exploiting human weaknesses in siege warfare than upon technological advantage, since they did not possess the financial resources necessary to outpace the Ottomans in military technology. Therefore, the isthmus walls were built in a medieval fashion, and did not possess any defensive artillery to discourage an Ottoman assault. Constantine misjudged the quality of his fortifications, as Murad, using gunpowder artillery, smashed through
them and routed the defenders. The Turks took over 60,000 prisoners, and Constantine barely escaped with his life. This episode shows Constantine’s tendency toward rash, aggressive actions against the Ottoman Turks even before his accession to the Byzantine throne.

We forever mourn the death of the great eastern Roman Empire. Hatred for the Turks for 1453 and Western Europe for 1204!

Here, in Gaul, we resisted for much less time. Roma Aeterna, long live the last Emperor, Constantine the Eleventh.

Ottoman Empire: Captures Constantinople
Ottoman Empire later: loses at everything
not until 1683
as a Turk, you are right
We didn't lose everything, but we lost a lot, but it took us a long time to lose a lot, right?
Amazing edit
Myth tells us, that on the night his city fell. Constantine despite his desire to did not die the night the queen of city’s did. Story’s say that a arch-angel, sent by god took him in her arms. Turning the emperor to marble before flying away to the golden gate. (The westernmost entry to the city) where he stands in some deep basement of the battlements. Where he waits for the Greeks to take up there holy cause once more and when a flag of the descendants of his peoples flies anew over his capitol, the emperor will wake from his stone slumber and march forth with his dependents at the head of a host of angles to retake his empire.
Translation:
You will come as lightning,
The country will celebrate,
Sea, land, and sky,
In your light.
I will dress in white,
To touch thee again.
You will light up my heart;
O, how I love thee!
King of Kings, help the King,
Mercy, mercy, heavenly God,
Constantine Dragases Palaiologos,
By the Grace of God, Emperor of the Romans!
At the gate of Romanos,
Riding his horse of four white legs,
Four betas, mercy, mercy, Marmaras,
Bosphorus and Black Tuesday.
The sun shone and the earth sighed:
"The city has fallen! The city has fallen!
Constantinople, the golden gate,
The firstborn of the apple tree.
The city was the sword, the city was the spear,
The city was the key to all of Rome,
Fall silent, Mother of God, and weep no more,
With years and time it shall be yours."
At the gate of Romanos,
You went away,
An angel will bring you back,
When the time is right.
In the Hagia Sophia,
We will meet again,
At a new service,
All the Greeks as one!

@@user-eu3hz3dw5b The state he ruled was called "Basileia Rhōmaiōn" or "Imperium Romanum" in Latin. Not Greece. But he spoke Greek as so many Roman senators and emperors before him.
@@user-eu3hz3dw5bhe is Roman. The Byzantine (or eastern ROMAN empire) was a direct successor to Rome, and was not named the Byzantine empire until much later than the fall the of Constantinople. The citizens of the empire called themselves Roman, and though they spoke Pontic Greek, and lived in the Anatolian and Greek lands, they believed themselves Roman, and therefore we call them by the same name.

Constantine made an incredible last stand with his soldiers when the Turks broke through the wall. Him and Giustianni. I have to give proper respects to the both of them for fighting till the last man, and dying along with their empire... May they rest in peace 🙏
GIUSTINIANI is a COWARD. GIUSTINIANI FLED LIKE A COWARD taking his Genovese mercenaries with him. He abandoned the defence of the walls and the Gate of ST ROMANOS!!!! The Greek Emperor stayed and DIED LIKE A HERO!!!!
It doesn't seem a coincidence that the key defender of the last stronghold of Rome, was an Italian.

The prophecy states Rome will return one day and purge the world of barbarians even if gone for 1000s years Rome is still here in us waiting for the right time to reclaim the lands of the 2 capitols and the once glorious empire
As a a Muslim even according to our prophecies you will take it back eventually lol. And once we take it again the antichrist will arrive.
Even though i am a turk, i will pay respect to Constantine and his people for fighting that war to the last, for their belives and ancestors, even when they knew all hope was lost.
