Constantine had but 7,000 men to defend a city of over 50,000 souls against a great army of over 80,000 commanded by Mehmed, 10,000 of whom were elite janissaries. Isolated, abandoned, and hopelessly outnumbered, the Byzantine soldiers stood by their Emperor to face whatever end that destiny had in store for them. Constantine himself was said to have manned the walls and fought side by side against the coming onslaught. For fifty three days the Turks hammered at the walls of the city with all their deafening artillery and all their limitless legions and for fifty three days the Byzantines bravely beat them back and endured every assault. At the end of May 1453 A.D then came the fateful day as the Ottoman army swarmed over the weakest point in the defences and flooded into the city. Seeing that the hour of doom had come at last, Constantine is said to have remarked that "The city is fallen and I am still alive." With that he cast off his imperial raiment so as not to be distinguished from his troops, drew his sword, 'dismounted from his white Arabian mare, plunged into the fray, and disappeared."
So ended the last remnant of the Roman Empire founded by Augustus Caesar 1479 years before in 27 B.C. Constantine however would live on in legend, with prophecies arising that before the battle's ending an angel descended to the earth and rescued him by turning him to marble and hiding him beneath the Golden Gate where he would lie in waiting to eventually reclaim the city from the Turks and restore Constantinople to the Orthodox Christians.

That's the real fucking deal, especially if you had to type it all out by hand instead of copying and pasting
