Sarsath, can you make a extension editing update on this video, ("Every Roman Emperor And How They Died") including the Roman Emperors of the Eastern Roman Empire, the Emperors of the Empire of Trebizond, the Counts of the County of Epirus, the leaders of the Empire of Nicaea, the Latin Empire Φρανκοκρατια, and maybe the Kingdom of Gwynned, the Mauro Roman Kingdom (yes ive seen Maiorianus videos on those "possible roman successor states") Even if it takes you 10-20 years to get around to making i liked ur video and im wondering if you're open to making this idea real Oo and the Byzantine/-Eastern Roman Emperor death list could be seen as very dramatic.

[@FillupMan]

Or a novel new video or videos. On mentioned topics. Maybe you could make a entire series on the deaths of Emperor's of the Roman State and it's successor states. I am aware rn tho that someone has made videos on Russian leader deaths of the Historical Russian State and Ottoman leader deaths of that Ottoman Empire. Just to let you know
