What was this nonsense all about? I stopped reading after Manzikert.
>>18509225Why did you put "Roman Empire" name on the greek despotate of constantinople in this map?
>>18509244I did not. That is just something that people do.Especially Muslim sources, might I add!
>>18509244>HRE fag
>>18509225Manuel was a tool who never actually conquered any territory, he just wanted to come off like this great man, which he really wasn't
>>18509376>mention HRESeethe
>>18509491Better than John who survived a coup by his sister and her husband to only die in a hunting accident on the Southern Coast of Asia minor from cutting himself with a poisoned arrow. Also in a true act of benevolence never before seen by a Byzantine era Roman Emperor he only had his sister banished for life to a monestary. While she was there she wrote 'The Alexiad' which talked about the exploits of their father to try and make her brother, which by all accounts was bretty gud as an Emperor, look like a massive loser by comparison.
>>18509246Muslims did call the Byzantines Rome more than all their Christian and European neighbors did.Even Bulgarians called them Greek often
>>18509981That's because they had religious reasons to do so. The Quran called the people of Costantinople "romans". They cannot go against the direct word of God
>>18510032>fucking GOD says the Byzantines are Roman>Pakianon still has melties trying to prove they're not I shiggy diggy
>>18509225yeah, sure, oltenia was never under turkish rule, although their rulers had to be confirmed by the Porte, and they fought a glorious war of liberation in bulgarian territory as auxiliaries of the russian army (a minor fact that escaped the notice of the authors of history coursebooks when I was in school).vlach wewuzzing is worse than the negro one.
