What book talks about the fall of trebizond?

Question

does anybody know a book or books that talk about everything that happened during the fall of trebizond including how many troops was there

Answer 1

You will have to work for this one. The date of the fall was 1461. There is a seven-volume "History of Greece" by Finlay (I don't remember his given name) published 1870. Volume 4 of this history relates the histories of all the suuccessor states to the Byzantine Empire that resulted from the Fourth Crusade. In particular, the last part of volume 4 gives a complete history of the Empire of Trebizond. I'm sure you know that David and Alexius Comnenus escaped from Constantinople as it was falling and wen t to Trebizond. David assumed the title of emperor. Their intent was to reconquer and re-establish the empire. At the end of the Empire of Trebizond, there were a lot of strange persons occupying the thone. The book that I talk about is in most university libraries. It cost me $35 to buy the one that I have.
