On May 29th, the course of human history was irrevocably altered when the Byzantine capital of Constantinople fell to Sultan Mehmed II and the Ottoman forces in 1453. This 53-day siege marked the definitive end of the Roman legacy in the East and signaled a new era of global power. Today, we navigate this profound transition before turning our attention to three distinct leaders of culture and politics: King Charles II of England, the beloved entertainer Bob Hope, and the 35th U.S. President John F. Kennedy, all born on this day.
