Episode 341 - Mehmed and Constantinople
The History of Byzantium
Mehmed did not make Constantinople his capital straight away. There were political, practical and psychological arguments against it. We talk about these and how the Sultan overcame them. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
