who conquered the byzantine empire in the 15th century?
sultan selim i
although a number of small byzantine successor states survived and eventually reclaimed constantinople in 1261, the empire had been severely weakened. in the longer term, the rise of turkish power in anatolia eventually gave rise to the ottoman empire which rapidly conquered the former byzantine heartland over the course of the 14th and 15th centuries, culminating in the fall of constantinople to the army of sultan mehmed the conqueror in 1453.
