Constantine XI Palaiologos

BIOGRAPHY
The great Eastern Roman Empire was no longer as great as it used to be and the remaining lands of the empire was ruling by Constantine XI in 1451, son of the late emperor Manuel II. Although he could not show his imperial glory and aristocracy with lust, Constantine was the last hope of a thousand-year-old empire. Constantine, who was the despot of Morea like his other brothers in his youth, was crowned as Eastern Roman Emperor with the death of his older brother John VIII Palaiologos in 1448.
