	In 1485, Constantine XI's nephew [[Manuel Palaiologos]] arrived in Constantinople.

	Around 1502, the Doge of [[Venice]], along with Sultan Bayezid II, sought to ally their considerable naval powers through a free trade treaty. However, the Templars were wary of any peace between the two, and became intent on interfering with their alliance. The [[House of Borgia\|Borgia family]] dispatched a force of mercenaries to disrupt the agreement, but they were quickly intercepted by members of the [[Italian Brotherhood of Assassins]], who set their [[ship]] aflame before they could depart.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''</ref><ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>		Around 1502, the Doge of [[Venice]], along with Sultan Bayezid II, sought to ally their considerable naval powers through a free trade treaty.

	After the peace with the Venetians, Bayezid II invited the Florentine artist [[Leonardo Da Vinci]] to submit a design for a bridge that would span a 250-meter wide section of the Golden Horn. Upon seeing Leonardo's design, the Sultan felt the project was too ambitious and scrapped the idea. Four years later, Bayezid extended the same invitation to the young artist [[Michelangelo]]. However, Michelangelo - being an avowed rival of Leonardo's - refused the invitation outright, incensed that Leonardo had been asked first.<ref name="Database: Golden Horn">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'' – [[Database: Golden Horn]]</ref>		After the peace with the Venetians, Bayezid II invited the Florentine artist [[Leonardo Da Vinci]] to submit a design for a bridge that would span a 250-meter wide section of the Golden Horn.
