The Decline and Fall of Byzantium: from Greek Monarch to Sudanese Vassal

About This Novel

This book is the last volume of the "Byzantine Trilogy" and the climax of this grand epic. This volume continues the history of Alexius Comnenos' accession to the throne in 1081. Thereafter, the Fourth Crusade, led by the blind octogenarian and extremely cunning Doge of Venice, Enrique Dandolo, brought great disaster to Constantinople. The later years of the Byzantine era were filled with sorrow and they were embroiled in painful and long battles with the Ottoman Sultan. In 1453, this thousand-year empire that once spanned Europe, Asia, and Africa was wiped out with the fall of Constantinople and the death of the last emperor, Constantine XI.
