Aged just 21 when he conquered Constantinople in 1453, Mehmet II was known to Europe as a brutal tyrant, 'the present Terrour of the World'; his conquests across Asia Minor and as far as Hungary and Italy led three Popes to call for Crusades. But, as John Freely reveals in this new biography, the Sultan's Renaissance court was filled with poets, astronomers and Italian scholars and artists, while his conquests brought Greco-Islamic science to the West. Slightly off-mint. Felt-tip mark on lower-trimmed edge.
