varangians were from all over sweden
That Island was pretty vibrant place aparently back dan, and i don't mean in contemporary sense
the byzantines had thousand of swedish mercs
until 1204
when the french and veneitans killed the
Female gulag prisoner ❤
mainly as the byzantines were as far from the macedonian rennaisance, eastern roman empire, and classical rome
as the arbas were
they were barbarinas
if you were french in 1200
they might as well be arabs
in 200 years they went from being a world power to a shithole
It's Catholic BS
Nah. Byzantines only functioned when a military state
So did Roman Empire
also essentially a military state
roman empire had a real eocnomy until 300 AD
or so
in the west
Justinian destroyed roman italy
Byzantines themselves lasted until about 1100 as a real country
that could do shit

That's a lot
armenians ruled them the best actually
Macedonian dinasty had hte most optimal rule
yeah they were armnieans
