In 1453, as the walls of Constantinople crumbled under Mehmed the Conqueror's cannon, a young Georgian prince named Constantine II was fighting for his own crumbling kingdom. This episode follows Constantine's desperate decades-long struggle to hold Kartli together after the dual blows of Timur's devastation and Ottoman expansion. We trace the 1462–1465 civil wars that split Georgia into three rival kingdoms; Constantine's alliance with the Ak Koyunlu Turkoman ruler Uzun Hasan against the Ottomans; and the final 1490–1493 Darbazi council that formally partitioned Sakartvelo into Kartli, Kakheti, and Imereti. Along the way we meet the powerful Dadiani and Gurieli noble families, the Catholicos who crowned Constantine, and the Bagrationi line's 15th-century survival strategies. Lucas unpacks the irony that Constantine II—named for the last Byzantine emperor who fell in 1453—witnessed his own realm's fragmentation while still preserving the Bagrationi crown. A story of resilience, fratricide, and the slow collapse of medieval Georgia's unity. #Georgia #ConstantineII #Kartli #Bagrationi #OttomanEmpire #AkKoyunlu #UzunHasan #MehmedtheConqueror #FallofConstantinople #Darbazi #Imereti #Kakheti #Dadiani #Gurieli #Caucasus #MedievalHistory #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
