Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGeorge Sphrantzes was the Emperor Constantine XI's personal secretary and a friend. According to his own account of the conquest of Constantinople, his daughter Thamar (named Therma in the series) was 12 years old when the city fell and was taken into captivity by the Turks, dying in the Sultan's harem in September 1455 of an infectious disease. Therefore, the series inaccurately portrays her as having escaped to the island of Chios, which was then controlled by Genoa. There is also no evidence that Thamar and Giovanni Giustiniani Longo, the leader of the Genoese mercenaries, were in a romantic relationship.
Contemporary accounts do report, on the other hand, that the mortally-wounded Giustiniani was carried off to a Genoese galley which then headed for Chios. Giustiniani died either en route or shortly after arriving on the island and was buried in the Church of San Domenico (later the Church of Santa Maria del Castello, which eventually was converted into a mosque following the Turkish conquest of the island in 1566). The tomb is now lost.
Featured review
Daniel Natu ( Vlad Dracula)
Yes historically not accurate, lots of BS etc.. But it was entertaining. I actually watched the whole series in a day. Mehmed vs Vlad is better than the previous one. I like the actor who played Mehmed ( Cem Yigit Uzumoglu) I think he was great. Story telling was also great ( I think he is the guy who played the lanister in GOT) . But what people should notice is the actor who played Vlad Dracula. He wasn't acting, it looked real. We don't see this level of acting very often. Absolutelly amazing. I think he is World Class and he should be in Hollywood. What a great actor. Well Done Daniel. I wish you all the best. And would like to see more from you. 10/10.
