The fall of Constantinople in 1453 was important in many ways. One of the most significant was the subsequent emigration of Byzantine scholars and intellectuals (along with some of their treasured texts) to the West: their influence had a direct impact on the Renaissance and Reformation and, thus, on the subsequent course of Western History as a whole.
