latin empire

I've been reading about the complex and hard to pin down history of the various Eastern Romance speaking peoples in the balkans during the middle ages and I started considering the context of the fourth crusade and the temporary collapse of the Byzantine Empire. Assuming the crusader states in...

Hello; so this is pretty overtly a "help with my timeline" thread because I don't actually know a lot about art history. But, in my tl, the Latin Empire/Empire of Constantinople/Catholic ERE has managed to establish itself to the holdings in dark red over the last century, with these being the...

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the Fourth Crusade, the Sejuk sultan of Rum Kaykhusraw I tried to conquer the Empire of Nicaea in 1211. However, his effort was decisively halted by Nicaean emperor Theodore I Laskaris at the Battle of Antioch on the Meander, and the sultan was slain along...

Deus hoc vult pro Rom The year was 1224, early in the year. The Eastern Roman Empire, which had endured over seven centuries of warfare, had been broken a mere twenty years prior. Something that none of its four successors actually accepted- to the Niceans, they were the Eastern Empire, cast...

Hey; it's another one of these threads. So i just canceled my old tl due to both loss of interest and the fact I just think it was getting bad (too... France wanky). but i already had a few new ideas. I might revamp it. Yet Another Roman Empire: What if the Latin Empire were to survive and...

In 1259, Michael VIII, soon to become the first emperor of the Palaiologos dynasty, fought an alliance of the Despotate of Epirus, Kingdom of Sicily, and the Principality of Achaea, against the Empire of Nicea led by Michael VIII. The Nicaeans sent a deserter to the enemy side to feed them false...

Introduction: The Komnenos dynasty presided over an era of prosperity for the Byzantine Empire known as the Komnenian Restoration. Their overthrow led to the rise of the incompetent house of Angelos, which failed to stop the Turks, Bulgarians, and Crusaders, and Isaac II Angelos' Latin-backed...

Your challenge, with a POD after 1204, is to have the Latin Empire's fall be brought about not by the three remnants of the Byzantine Empire which arose after the Fourth Crusade (Nicaea, Epirus, or Trebizond) but by the Second Bulgarian Empire with a Bulgarian dynasty replacing the Latins as the...

As we all know the Eastern Roman Empire was shattered in the 13th century by the 4th Crusade where the Latins took Constantinople. However the Empire of Trebizond emerged as a savior to the Roman state and managed to restore the empire proper thanks to the work of Emperor Alexios VI Komnenos and...

The Byzantine Empire was conquered in 1204 by the forces of the Fourth Crusade. The empire was dismantled and its territories divided up between Venice and the new Latin Empire of Constantinople, led by Baldwin of Flanders. The effects of this were pretty disastrous for the Byzantines, and the...

The rivalries and families of the cadet Sicily-Anjous appear rife for POD potential what with marriages between the Calabrian branch (the daughters Joanna and Maria of King Robert of Jerusalem & Neapolitan Sicily), the Taranto branch (sons Louis, Robert, and Phillip, of Phillip I Prince of...

I was going to post something on the ATL City guessing game, but the more I wrote, the more it started to look like a full TL idea than an article for the thread. Obviously, this was inspired by the Mahakhitan thread of a similar idea (Liao Empire in India), but I want to ask if it's possible...

Exactly what it says on the tin. How would a surviving Latin Empire handle an alternate Protestant Reformation that occurs around the 1500's. I honestly think that the Latin Empire actually would have a significant draw towards embracing a reformation. By the time any kind of reformation...

Successors to the Byzantine Empire, 1211 The Seljuk army had besieged Antioch-on-the-Maeander, in southwestern Anatolia. Their commander, Sultan Kaykhusraw, was confident of victory. At his side stood the deposed Roman Emperor Alexios III, who some seven years before had fled from the sack of...

IOTL, there was a battle somewhere in Thessaly, Greece, in 1259 that pitted an alliance between the Principality of Achaea, its vassals, and the Despotate of Epirus against the Nicaean Empire. The Nicaeans sent a false deserter to the enemy's side to feed them false info, exagerating the size of...
