Produktbeschreibung
Constantine XI's last moments in life in 1453 have bestowed a heroic status on him but this book produces a more balanced portrait of an intriguing individual. The last of the Greek Caesars was a fascinating figure, not because he was a great statesman and not because of his military prowess, as he was neither a notable tactician nor a soldier of exceptional merit.

Constantine was ineffective on the diplomatic front, as he proved unable to stimulate Latin Christendom to come to the aid of Orthodox Europe.
