Empire Builders - Episode 6: Byzantium, Crusaders & Venice - The Christian Empires | History Documentary
Watch 'Empire Builders - Episode 7' here: • The British Empire - ...
In the 5th century A.D. the Roman Empire, which had ruled across Europe for 600 years, was facing collapse. More than 100 years earlier in 332 Emperor Constantine, who'd erected his victory arch in Rome, had moved the capital of the empire to a city in modern-day Turkey which was named Constantinople.
Constantine was the first Roman emperor to become a Christian and over the next 1000 years, his Eastern Roman Empire embraced Christianity and became the Byzantine Empire. Constantine changed the course of human history. With his adoption of Christianity, Christianity went from a persecuted minority sect to being the official religion of the Roman Empire.
Later, in the final years of the 1st century, Christian forces were more aggressive as Crusaders fought to retake Christendom's holy lands and sites from another younger religion on the march, Islam.
Meanwhile, Europe's great new sea-faring and trading power, Venice, sought accommodation and profit from all sides, whether Christian, Jew, or Muslim, in a complex game of shifting alliances, hostility, and war.
In this episode of Empire Builders, we explore 10 sites that made history. We visit Bryzantium's greatest church, the Hagia Sophia in modern-day Istanbul, the Crusaders' greatest fortress, Crac de Chevalier in modern-day Syria, and St Marks Basilica, in Venice, a showcase of the Venetian Empire at its peak., Together through these great sites, and others we chart the rise and fall of the great Christian empires of Byzantium, the Crusades, and Venice.

Rosary Prayer The Apostles' Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen. The Our Father Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen The Hail Mary Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. The Glory Be (The Doxology) Glory be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. The Hail Holy Queen (The Salve Regina) Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To you we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to you we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us; and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus. Pray for us, O Holy mother of God That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ Let us pray: O God ,whose only begotten Son by his life, death and resurection, has purchased us the reward of eternal salvation. Grant, we pray, that by meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what contain and obtain what they promises through the same Christ, our Lord. Amen

Oh. glorious Constantin, the first Christian Roman emperor who killed his eldest son and his wife, what a great single minded man he was!😝 It looks to me that the early Christians made a pact with the devil.
