Chapter 655 Epilogue: Introduction to the Emperor's Life
Peter I was born in Kemplonga, Wallachia in 1380. He was the eldest son of the Roman Emperor Mircea I.

Peter I became the lord of Dobruja in 1391 and led his troops to resist the attack of the Ottoman Empire. After his father Mircea I occupied Moldova, he briefly served as the local governor and made great contributions to stabilizing the rule.

In 1400, Mircea deposed the last Palaiologos Emperor John VIII and ascended the throne himself, opening the Roman Empire's Bartlan Dynasty. Peter became the heir to the empire and began to conquer and restore the territory of the Roman Empire.

From 1400 to 1410, Peter led his army to successively recover Anatolia, Serbia and other places, restoring the territory to the territory of the Macedonian Dynasty. At the same time, he actively expanded northward, occupied a large area of ​​Ukraine, and turned the Caspian Sea into his own inland lake.

In diplomacy, the empire supported Mary of Hungary and Laszlo of Naples to build a barrier for the empire. It also supported the second brother Michael and the third brother Vlad to become the Grand Duke of Moscow and the Elector of Brandenburg respectively, taking the first step in expanding the family's power.

In 1410, Mircea I abdicated, ending his nearly ten-year reign, and Peter ascended the throne, calling himself Peter I.

Peter I attacked the pagan forces headed by Mecca, and at the same time attracted different factions of the Crescent Moon to work for the empire. With the concept of tolerance, the number of pagans from other places who defected to the Roman Empire reached a peak. They became subjects of the Roman Empire and paid taxes to the empire.

In the West, the situation was reduced to a blow. Rome, which Peter I had conquered, returned to the Roman Empire after a thousand years of loss.

Peter I was also merciless towards Venice, the enemy of the empire. He sold all the people into slavery and filled up the rivers of Venice with soil. This once powerful commercial republic became history.

From Moldova and the Ottoman Empire to Poland, the Papal States, and Venice, more than eight countries were occupied by Rome or in conjunction with other countries, completely achieving domination over Eastern Europe.

The highlight of Peter I was naturally the conquest of Mecca and Medina in 1420, when the local people presented Peter with the key to the Kaaba. Peter established the Despot of Mecca here, with the emperor himself in charge.

In addition to expanding territory, Peter I also sent people to contact the East many times. In particular, during the reign of Peter I, the most powerful Ming Dynasty, four large-scale missions were sent there. From Emperor Taizong to Emperor Xuanzong, the relationship between the two countries was stable and improving. Later, because Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty had some problems going north and there was no demand for the sea, a sea ban was imposed. However, due to the trade profits of the Roman Empire and the benefits of the other party's contracting of coastal defense, only one port was left in Ningbo and Tianjin for use. Others were not allowed to go to sea, and the whole family of violators would be executed.

Romania also established colonies in the most important country of India, and occupied important shipping routes in the East, which provided the empire with a steady stream of wealth.

After conquering the Arabian Peninsula, Peter I began to focus on domestic governance, establishing a bureaucracy loyal to the emperor through the Eastern examination system, and encouraging agricultural reclamation and industrial and commercial development.

Peter I was considered very diligent by his officials, as he often worked until midnight and was said to be a "sleepless emperor" like Justinian I. He personally managed many things and was very concerned about the management of cities and provinces.

Soon after he returned from the expedition, the encyclopedia, which took a lot of manpower and material resources to compile, was completed. It covers all aspects of history, culture, geography, specialties, economy, etc. It is the most important work of this era. Because of this, it provides an important basis for later historians to study history.

Under Peter I's rule, the Roman Empire regained its vitality. From 1420 to 1440, Rome suffered three Western Crusades and six Eastern attacks, but they were all repelled. Peter I led his troops to fight again, leading the Hungarian and Brandenburg coalition to break the already broken Holy Roman Empire into pieces. He forced Sigismund to agree to promote the Elector of Brandenburg to the King of Prussia. The Roman Empire's restoration of hegemony over the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe was basically completed.

In 1444, Peter I abdicated and passed the throne to Crown Prince Alexander, ending his 34-year reign and living in seclusion in the Great Monastery in Constanta.

On May 1453, 5, Peter I, the second emperor of the Bartolomeo dynasty of the Roman Empire, died at the age of 29. After his death, the whole country mourned. This monarch who had a huge impact on Europe and even the world was finally buried in Hagia Sophia. The church canonized him, and the people called him Peter the Great, and his honor became the goal that successive emperors wanted to achieve. After that, the Roman Empire did not have a dynasty change, and the Bartolomeo dynasty ruled the empire for more than 73 years until now.

Today, the purple double-headed eagle still flies over Constantinople. It is still the Roman Empire, and its glory will last forever.
