If you sit infront of the door of the fortress for long enough, they will be opened for you. So why even bother with knocing them down?

In 846 the Arabs sacked the suburbs of Rome but  they  didn't besiege Constantinople in the 9th century.
The fact that an emperor bribed the Arabs so as to keep them away doesn't mean that they were able to take the city.Just the Emperor wanted to be sure that there would be no attack from the Arabs so as to deal with other enemies in other frontiers.
Who was the Queen that you are referring to?

i made a thread about this
