To tell the story of the third successor state that popped up after the Sack of Constantinople, The Empire of Trebizond, we must take a deep dive into the History of the Kingdom of Georgia. The reason for this is that the Kingdom of Georgia, under their leader Queen Tamar, financed and organized the two grandchildren of Andronicus into capturing the city of Trebizond. Georgia is a kingdom in the Caucasus Mountains... with fertile plains, rich mines, thick forests, and access to both the Black Sea and the Silk Road. The Monarch of this story is a fantastic woman who rose to power and was crowned King... not Queen... but the King of Georgia. She wasn't messing around and did not let her husbands restle the power bestowed upon her.
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.
