Again👇
WHO WERE THE MEDIEVAL ROMANS?
(based on their own Legislation)👇

a) If they were not #Greek #descent, i.e. Greeks, it was mandatory to "go grey", i.e. to evolve,

b) They had to speak exclusively the #Greek #voice (Greek language) in public places, Image
c) They were to be subject exclusively to the #Roman #Law, which was that of the #ethnically #Greeks and the Greeks, while according to Justinian himself, the #Roman #Law was an #update #of #ancient #Greek #Law,

d) They should have followed exclusively the Image
Roman customs, i.e. the #customs of the #Greeks, which were of course the Greeks saturated by #Christian #Ethics,

e) They were NO longer alien Latinos, because Justinian lawfully #abolished #Latino #citizenship and integrated it in Rome, since neither

F. Noli: #Scanderbeg ruthlessly #massacred Muslim #Albanians (converts).

Fan Noli, Prime Minister and regent of Albania: ⬇️

"Immediately after the capture of Croya Scanderbeg returned to the faith of his forefathers. After all, as Fallmerayer remarks

he had never censed to be a Christian and was only nominally a Mohammedan under the influence of his father after the disaster of 1430.
That his conversion was not a diplomatic one like those of his father, was proved by the bloodbath which followed it. Image
All the Moslem colonists and converts of Croya & the other fortresses were invited to choose between Christianity and death.Very few answered the invitation. Most of them refused & paid the penalty. They were ruthlessly massacred".

Είναι η επιστολή του Φιλοχρίστου Ρωμαίου Βασιλέως και Αυτοκράτορος Ιωάννου Γ' Δούκα, Βατάτζη τον 13ο αι. προς τον Πάπα Γρηγόριο Θ', με την οποία ξεκαθάρισε άπαξ δια παντός, με τον πλέον επίσημο εμφατικό Image
κατηγορηματικό, αδιαμφισβήτητο #νομικό #τρόπο, ότι όλοι οι Αυτοκράτορες που προηγήθηκαν, από το Μ. Κωνσταντίνο μέχρι και τον ίδιο το Βατάτζη ήταν #Ελληνικής #καταγωγής.
Οι Άγιοι Βασιλείς της Ρωμανίας, Μέγα ς Κωνσταντίνος, Ιωάννης Γ' Δούκας Βατάζης ο ελεήμων Image
Ο μεν πρώτος παραδίδει (κληροδοτεί) το κράτος των Ρωμαίων (Βασιλεύουσα), ως κλήρο στο γένος των Ελλήνων και ο δε δεύτερος (ως εκπρόσωπος του Ελληνισμού), αποδέχεται την κληρονομιά την οποία και διατρανώνει με το γραπτό κείμενο της επιστολής το οποίο φέρει.➡️ Image
