History of Modern Greece 141: The Empire in Nicaea: Part Three: Saint John Vatatzes the Merciful
After five long episodes covering the Mongolians, we return to the narrative. John III Vatatzes ruled over the Empire in Nicaea, and it was becoming pretty clear that he would be the one to retake Constantinople so long as they could keep up the momentum. But then all of the neighbouring kingdoms, powerful kingdoms that had existed for centuries, were brought to their knees by the Mongolians. In less than five years, the entire world around John Vatatzes was going to change forever.
The History of Modern Greece Podcast covers the events from Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, and the fall of Constantinople in 1453, to the years under the Ottoman Empire, and 1821 when the Greeks fought for independence... all the way to the modern-day.
