Sinopse

Shattered Empire chronicles the dramatic centuries that reshaped the Byzantine Empire from the height of its medieval power to the brink of collapse and eventual renewal. This volume explores the unraveling of imperial authority after Basil II, the catastrophic defeat at Manzikert, the Komnenian restoration, and the complex entanglements with the Crusades. It delves into the empire’s role as a diplomatic broker, the economic and religious controversies that rocked its foundations, and the devastating sack of Constantinople in 1204. Through the lens of exile and resilience, the book reveals how Byzantium’s people, faith, and culture endured, adapted, and ultimately laid the groundwork for a remarkable, if fragile, recovery.
