1453 324 Ad Constantinople Wall

Spectacularly well preserved, the walls of Constantinople afford the 21st century observer a remarkable insight into the military technology of Byzantium. This book traces the history of the walls and the attacks they endured at the hands of Attila the Hun, the Crusaders, and finally the Turks.

This title details the epic four-month siege of the city of Constantinople, last vestige of the once mighty Roman and Byzantine Empires. Mehmet 'The Conqueror' led an army of 80,000 men with a massive siege train against the city. 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.
