What was the state of the Byzantine Empire during Murad's reign?
It was at its peak
It was just beginning
It was declining
It had already fallen
Answer
Murad I reigned during a time of decline for the Byzantine Empire. The empire had been in decline for centuries, but it was accelerated by the Fourth Crusade, which sacked Constantinople in 1204. This left the empire in a weakened state, and it was unable to defend itself against the Ottomans. Murad was able to take advantage of this and expand his empire at the expense of the Byzantines.
