This month's Chirp Audio Book Club Pick of the Month was Worlds at War by Anthony Pagden. The book goes over all these different cultural points in history from the Greco-Persian Wars, the rise of Islam and more. There is a deep dive into the investiture controversy of the 11th century that even shows scenes where you have Henry IV on his bare shirt.
The fall of Constantinople, also known as the conquest of Constantinople, was the capture of the capital of the Byzantine Empire by the Ottoman Empire. The city was captured on 29 May 1453 as part of the culmination of a 53-day siege which had begun on 6 April.
