	Loukas Notaras - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Notaras, his Palaiologina wife and his son were all captured by the Turks and originally granted clemency in the name of reestablishing order and in exchange for much of Notaras's fortune, which he had had the sense to invest elsewhere.
		Notaras, whose elder sons had been killed fighting, refused to sacrifice the boy to such a fate.
		Notaras merely asked that they should be slain before him, lest the sight of his death should make them waver.

	Inalcik-policy
		Notaras, as is well known, was frequently at odds with the Italian defenders during the siege.
		Because of his opposition to the Italians, Notaras had a kind of claim on the favor of the Sultan; and the Ottomans had long since made it their general practice, as a matter of reasonable policy, to take such men into their service.
		Sphrantzes, who is hostile to Notaras, maintains that he endeavored to win the Sultan's favor, wishing to preserve his former high position; but that the viziers persuaded the Sultan to execute Notaras.

	CHAPTER - REIGN OF MAHOMET THE SECOND, EXTINCTION OF EASTERN EMPIRE
		Two Janizaries claimed the honor and reward of his death: the body, under a heap of slain, was discovered by the golden eagles embroidered on his shoes; the Greeks acknowledged, with tears, the head of their late emperor; and, after exposing the bloody trophy, Mahomet bestowed on his rival the honors of a decent funeral.
		After his decease, Lucas Notaras, great duke, and first minister of the empire, was the most important prisoner.
		Mahomet condescended to visit his wife, a venerable princess oppressed with sickness and grief; and his consolation for her misfortunes was in the most tender strain of humanity and filial reverence.

	The Fall of Constantiople 1453

		Phranza, and Lucas Notaras, and Justiniani, and other names of note, held a prominent place in the crowd; but all clustered round the bridal pair, whose "coronation" they had met to celebrate.
		The fairest maidens of Constantinople were proud to attend on Theodora Phranza, and were flinging roses before her from silver baskets, as, attired in the white silk pallium and long veil, and attended by her two bridesmaids, she moved forward to the porch.
		Then came the Frank knight; young Manuel Notaras was the paranymph: friends and acquaintance clustered in behind and around; a picked guard of Varangians attended; the crowd filled the great square of S. Sophia; and so they awaited the opening of the silver gates.

		Desperate for any type of military assistance, Constantine appealed to the West, but he was refused help unless he united the Orthodox Church with the Roman Catholic Church, which was a policy pursued by his predecessors.
		He declared the churches united in 1452, but the union was overwhelmingly rejected by his subjects and it dangerously estranged him from his chief minister and military commander Megas Doux (Grand Duke) Lucas Notaras.
		Mehmed II offered Constantine the chance to rule unmolested in Mistra before the siege of Constantinople, but he refused, preferring to fight and die defending his Empire.

	CHRISTOPHER A LONG - Nicolas Vlasto, Venice C15th
		With reference to Anne Notara (see The Great Etymology above), she was the daughter of the Grand Duke Luc Notara.
		Sathas writes that this first Greek press in Venice was founded under the auspices of, and perhaps financed by, Anne Notara though the words of Musurus and Jean Grigoropoulos as well as the publisher's note in The Great Etymology all agree that it was made 'funded by Nicolas Vlasto'.
		He advertised them in enthusiastic terms, expalining how the work was undertaken at the instigation of Anne Notara, funded by Nicolas Vlasto and carried out by Callergis 'for the benefit of the well-read and friends of Greek writing'.

		From this circumstance, from his subsequently rapid promotion, and from the superior skill he evinced in his public life, we may conclude both that he was of high birth, and must be possessed of eminent talents.
		In 1423 he accompanied Lucas Notaras and Melanchrenos Manuel on an embassy, from the dowager empress Eudoxia to the Sultanin, wife of Miirad II.
		Manuel recommended him, when dying, to his sou John VII.

		The celebrated remark that Lucas Notaras is supposed to have made, «Better the Sultan's turban than a Cardinal's hat,» indicates the atmosphere at the time just before the fall.
		(A chief minister of the last emperor, the same Lucas Notaras, was later executed because - it is rumored - he refused to yield his son to the sultan's desires and unmentionable pleasure.
		Owing to disputes between supporters and opponents of reconciliation with the pope, there was no patriarch in Constantinople in 1453.

		Unlike the Roman Catholics, they did not persecute others for their religion.
		The last emperor (Constantine XI)’s chief minister Lucas Notaras’s celebrated remark “Better the sultan’s turban than a cardinal’s hat” speaks volumes.
		So, the question that arises now as Turkey is approaching Europe remains: Can Turks and Westerners live together?

		Indeed, what was better for the building of Europe, Byzantium being robbed by Genoa, or Byzantium unified under a new idea, that of the Ottoman rule?
		Megadux Lucas Notaras seems to be quite correct when stating –“ better the Sultan’s turban, than the cardinal’s hat”.
		He should know better the real political conjuncture, and his patriotism was beyond any dispute as he fought the same Ottomans bravely beneath the crashed walls of the imperial city.

		Phranza and Notaras, now elderly men, soon gave up the task: the Emperor, after a few minutes' perfect silence, said,--"I can see something, but it may be a white house at Proconnesus."
