I very much consider Constantine XI as a CHAD amongst Emperors of Rome simply because the man saw his dying Empire falling by this unstoppable man made force and instead of running away or surrendering he just looks towards his soldiers who’s names will never be recorded in history and was like “ Yeah that’s right, I’ve stayed to kick ass for the Glory of Rome, come at me plebs I know you are maiden-less” what a dude.
@@irish-italianintrovert.8600 If its even possible for one to exist, and if I get right how the ruler class is defined, Augustus would most definetly be the top candidate for Grand Ruler
@@pantheon3671 His first ascension is just normal robes to make him look pious, and his final ascension is just him in Roman power armor. On that Master of Mankind getup.
Many invasions we faced, but our faith remains unmatched Theodosius Constantinus We shall never yield Though we may perish, but our homeland remains eternal
Growing up in the middle east, I was mostly taught about our region's history and ofc Islamic history The part about the Ottoman Empire was probably the longest with the most information to memorize and my history teacher was Hella strict But I only learned about the Ottoman side of things and barely anything about the byzantine empire itself besides "they're enemy = they're bad" so learning about their art in university + Constantine himself from Fate is an interesting experience As for the nation itself, Turkey is a place I love dearly visiting it every year for about 10 years now, most of those times only being in Istanbul. Turkey's historical ruins are present all over Istanbul especially, you'll see alot of remains of fortress walls etc, the hagia Sofia being open for visiting and prayers + as a museum as well Also alot of the names of locations in Istanbul didn't change that much damn Btw fun fact, Mehmet is just the turkish pronunciation of the Arabic name Mohammad
I heard that the Turks didnt even intend to rename Constantinople, but Greek nationalists or some other group demanded it. Not entirely sure about that one though
All the details aside, the last speech he gave his advisors bought me. I would probably had runned away, like come on I would've probably be a commoner, but if the Emperor sayd that I would've changed my mind and stayed. Maybe send away any family I had, but I myself would stay and gladly follow a Emperor like this to the other life.
@@bigalmou2261 Look, school didn't even tell me Constantinople existed. Is Fate always accurate? Fuck no. But I learn there are things I didn't know about and that let's me research them further to learn more about history and the world. Also I can't fail a class if I'm not in school anymore xD
@@comickazii6629 What you said. Also, Fate DOES manage to surprise one with unexpected correct details here and now, for example Cleopatra looking nothing like the usually imagined Egyptian (because she comes from a Greek bloodline) or that, unlike Augustean propaganda depicts her and how she (because of that) is very ofte depicted today, aside from being charming she was also a rather competent ruler
now ı want to see mehmet as a servant he would probably be a rider too since they moved the ships over the land to conquer constantinople maybe it will be his NP or smthn. I sure wanna see the interactions between them
If Fate took half of the legends spun around him seriously he would easily be a Grand Rider, foretelling the End Times and the inevitable triumph of Christianity. Then again, that would apply to a lot of other servants too.
With his death, and the capital of Constantinople (New Rome) conquered, the millennia and a half empire of the Romans came to an end. Such a tragic end for the Romans, honestly, it's just surprising that they lasted this long, while barbaric kingdoms around them come and go, the Roman Empire still stood, because just like before (like Hannibal continuing to kick their butts) they are stubborn and choose to fight for another day.
Europe pretty much is shaped the way it is because of Rome, and nations never stopped trying to become its worthy successor (Germany, Russia, Turkey, kinda Spain, kinda Napoleon). The nation may have died, but its spirit lives on
I'm finding weird why Bruce Lee isn't a servant. He's a person from our era that could definitely beat some servants even before becoming one Other would be Jackie Chan. It's still a mistery how is he still alive after what he's been through. Let's just say getting run over by a helicopter was one of the most survivable moments on his career
He could be added, if you deal with all the legalities and family not wanting him in FGO or something like that. You know, why Hoover wasn’t added sent as an attachment to Bunyan
