No, by crowning the last ERE Empress must be the last wife of Constantine XI.

Know nothing about Peter the Great, but whom you should really be proud of is prince Peter Bagrationi -- one of the most respected generals in Russia.

Helena Dragases (Constantine XI's mother, alive at his accession) was the last Empress of Constantinople (none of Constantine XI's wive's actually reigned as Empress), but Helena Cantacuzene was the last Byzantine Empress (Trebizond in itself was a Byzantine state with all the hallmarks of court protocol, she was a crowned Byzantine Empress).

yeah, the armour was common from India over Afghanistan and Iran to the Caucasus and it is of course post-medieval. even Ottomans and Polish horsemen had such armour.

The helmet is identical to the Safavid model at chamber street museam except for the engravings, same for all the other bits and pieces, not just similar but looking like they have been made by the same smitty.

did u know canute who coquered england and was king of denmark, england and norway was the grandson of the first polish ruler Mieszko I? that being true duznt make poland any more important in a medieval timeframe than other nations. like big deal sum byz. queen was from georgia. im sick and tired of georgians (or maybe just this one specific one) trying to prove theyre the best. like wat is wrong with this nation wen they have nothing better to do than to prove their the best.
oh, and heres something to chew on: if georgia was the greatest medieval nation, wtf is half the world not able to place it on the map, never heard of it, or just duznt care?
srry to sound harsh but im straight from the chivtw forums and ive delt with this bs for way too long.

since 16 century Egypt had been ruled by Mameluks who where caucassian people. And the very stong of them were georgians and albanians. "Egyption'' sultans mostly were georgians and they knew that, having sent msgs with georgian kings.
Mameluks=Turks&Circassian-Tcherkhez&Albanians,not-Georgians.
Which,Sultan,was,a,Georgian?

I am not sure how true this is. But if it is, wouldnt you expect
Georgians, Armenians and Greeks also be represented as mamluks? after
all to get to Northern Caucasus (circassia) you first have to pass
through Southern Caucasus or the Black Sea coast...last I heard
Mamluks:Arab Empire and Janissaires:Ottoman Empire are analogies

many of them probably were...I dont know that much about Mamluke origins, nor that I am saying Mamluks were Georgians, I was commenting on the fact that if Mamluks had Circassian members, they also must have had Georgian members, since to get to "Circassia" one had to pass through Georgia...
