Lets say that the Muslims decide not to travel into any Christian territory (they can still border them, but not invade), them and decide to got even more eastward, what happens?
The Byzantine Empire gets a little breathing room and buys a little more time but it will soon fall. Maybe to another Muslim power, or maybe, even Russia?
Why not Russia? The Russians were a rising power in the fifteenth century. Imperial Russia modeled itself on the Byzantine Empire. The Grand Prince of
Muscovy called himself Tsar, anglicized as Czar, (meaning Caesar, the same root as the German Kaiser,) for the first time. He'd married a Byzantine princess, and called Russia the "Third Rome."
