Defending were a mere 10,000 men under the Emperor Constantine XI. The Turkish artillery battered the ancient city walls mercilessly, levelling a large section. A gallant defence held off the massive Turkish assault for several hours. Refusing appeals to flee, Constantine returned to the breaches and fought until overwhelmed and killed. Thus died the last Emperor of the Byzantines, and with him his once glorious empire.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 248mmItem Length: 184mmItem Width: 8mmItem Weight: 374gAuthor: David NicolleIllustrator: Christa HookContributor: Christa Hook (Illustrated by)Genre: Law & PoliticsTopic: HistoryBook Series: CampaignRelease Year: 2000 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
