The time he lived in peace with the Eastern Romans, that is why Arcadio appointed him guardian and protector of his heir, then they murdered him, but among other things he had a lot of religious tolerance.
While the Diocese of Hispania revolted against the rule of the False Emperor, the Eastern Roman Empire was in a state of chaos. Arcadius was dead, leaving behind a seven-year-old child to succeed him. Theodosius II, the young boy Emperor of the East, was alone in the palace while his regent, the Sassanid King, tended to the needs of his court.

I don't know why the story receives so much hate, he is a good guy, if you want someone who abandons his beloved (if that were the case he wouldn't be his beloved), who has no pride, who is naturally evil, go read a fanfic about a Sith protagonist or something. On the other hand, he has honor and pride, that means that it is not what we criticize our politicians, who for a little more power after 10 seconds they have already changed their entire speech.

This more than 100 years ago does not automatically mean Mega-Machism, Suleiman in Magnifico for example promoted many women and he was Muslim, in Spain for example in the 1200s or so there was Urraca "La Batalladora" (translated into something like the combatant (fighter of military battles)), in Rome it is true that it was not common, but having a slave is basically something of nepotism, she is not a combatant, so it is quite plausible.
While this was going on, Marcellus personally established his command tent in the center of the encampment and led Sigefrida inside. He would not allow any form of harm to come to her so long as he yet drew breath. After placing down the cot and the bedding, he beckoned for the woman to join him by his side.

What made him delighted and smile, however, was that he was able to enlist many third and fourth sons of numerous tiny noble families, such as barons and knights, who will be used as commanders for his army, which he seriously lacked; unfortunately, he could only use them for his German contingent of knights since most of them only spoke German and Czech. His smile, however, lasted for only a moment before he gagged and continued to throw up.

Will she do Ki training? I understand that he said that I wasn't very good at it, but I also remember that he said something like it was very difficult to raise ki at low levels, one thing that occurs to me is that he trained with Roshi, since his sister was a witch and On the other hand, if he helps with the first fight with Piccolo, for example by helping him kill his demons, he could get his goodwill, although he could also train in Roshi's teacher's dojo when he hadn't fought Piccolo yet.

Because boiling water burns you, boiling oil makes you smell great until you die.
While for the Romans, with the senate disabled to interfere any further with the war situation commands there is no one to jeopardise the soldiers guarding the walls. Giovanni can finally put his skills into full use, he ordered his men to install leather carpets on the walls in order to absorb the impact caused by artillery shells, prepared buckets after buckets of boiling hot oil to pour onto the head of the enemies laying siege, and he finally put the canons into good use by stationing the smaller calipered canons on the towers to be used to destroy heavy siege war engines. Under the leadership of Orban, the Romans manufactured and assembled multiple trebuchets to fling projectiles onto the enemy siege engines.

Weird, a river can be blocked and flood the city or poison the water, it doesn't even have to be lethal, something like medieval laxatives would be enough to spread the plague through the city or simply disable the defenders.

Nah, really, although it was a great cavalry force, it was decisive and famous, but it wasn't very important as a type of soldier, since it lasted very few years of service, besides, they were entirely made up of nobles (yes, the commonwealth had many nobles, that's why when Poland was divided for the first time even the Polish peasants were happy, since they treated them better than their own nobles)
The bulk of Ottoman calvary force is formed by the Timarli Sipahi, like the Akinci, are light cavalry units that are not always assembled. They are mostly tribal riders and herds men in the Anatolian and Cicilian mountain ranges, continuing the life style like they are in the past nomadic steppe. Herding sheeps and horses. They train to ride horses, shoot arrows and wave Persian Shamshir blades since a very young age, they are the ones who outmatched the Roman elite calvaries by their speed and agility, they also went against the crusaders by the Franks, the Alermanians and the Bretons. They account for around twenty thousand in the ottoman army, making it perhaps the largest calvary force in Europe and Middle East.

It is not a musket, it is an Arquebus, that is what the Spanish used in their tercios, a great weapon for the time.

Mmmn, more or less, I don't know how strong the Swiss could be in urban or defensive combat, they served the French well since they were a solid infantry to accompany their cavalry and crossbowmen, but later they were defeated by the tercios, being the tercios totally versatile companies, they could besiege cities, defend them like no other (Just look at the Battle of Castelnuovo and the absolute destruction that the Turks suffered when they besieged them) and then the combat in the open field, which generally was quickly built some simple defenses like barricades and it was very difficult to do something to them, that's why they dominated the fields of Europe for more than 100 years, the musketeers being their legacy, since it is the same as a third only that pikemen are no longer separated from arquebusiers and now they are all the same, but the musketeers They were much more vulnerable against a cavalry than the tercios, since the pikes impose and the buckler fighters were very fast.

It's from both, actually generally from the north, there were also English, Irish, Welsh and Scottish you know, not just Scandinavia and the Rus, obviously those from Great Britain and Ireland were fewer in number than the others, but the Danelaw influenced them in that sense. On the other hand, you have to think that Novgorod was formed mainly by Swedish Vikings, among others, in general you had to be from lands where Winter hits the land xdd
"Aye, no matter ya believe it or not, I am a noble back in my land. I can organise a bunch of naive peasants and train them into thirsty-for-battle Varangians, and I can assemble a few dozen of my brothers seeking work there. We shall be your most loyal back bone, mark my words. We Varangians never lie!" Yuri finished his words with flying colours on his face, he then stood up, kicked his stool away, slammed his fist right again in his chest and stomped the ground, attracting everyone's attention to here in the tavern.

It is a question of morality, if he directs it from the front, the soldiers see that their general is with them, he is not a coward who sends people to die, that is why the Chinese had the Generals followed by the Strategists, so that lead the battle while they cannot. For example, in the decisive battle of "Las Navas de Tolosa", when King Sancho the strong charge with his personal guard turned the battle, since after he left he was followed by the King of Leon and the King of Castilla, along with his personal guards, all heavy cavalry.
Antonius yelled as he drew his blades and jumped onto the deck of the enemy ship – an action that is considered very unwise for a fleet's admiral, but he cared nothing about that. He roared like a starving lion catching his prey and swung his cutlass into the arm of an archer, which instantaneously sent his bow and his arm away, the man collapsed shouting in agony. He then drawn out his loaded mini crossbow and fired two shots at two Ottoman sailors charging at him, the force sent them rolling on the deck.

If you carry the flag of your country it is an act of war, that is why it is said that every ship carries a pirate flag in the captain's cabin
"Battle stations! Lower the Roman flag, raise the pirate flag! Send the signal, four Galleys in centre to break through enemy formation, four ships flank from the left and four ships flank from the right, the rest stay behind and prevent any ships from breaking through!"

It is, in fact, as he was wounded, the Genoese opened the gates of Galata to try to get him in, but that caused the Turks to enter in droves, the fall of Galata meant that the Ottomans could get their galleys into the city, since it was protected by a chain that ran from Constantinople to Galata, and with the fall of Galata the Turks removed it.
"…with your solid support and your professional men, we can defeat the Ottomans, I have always heard of your gallant and ahead-of-times city defence techniques." Constantine continued with a dim face.

You forgot about Corellia, Green Jedi or something like that they were called, they are quite independent of the Coruscant temple.
"Coruscant has hundreds of Masters, the best training facilities in the Galaxy, and is completely safe. As long as you devote yourself to training there, you will become a Jedi. You can make friends with other Initiates your own age." Her tone was light and had a trace of happy reminiscence to it, making it sound like a golden place to live and grow up in. Then her tone changed.
