question: who is Constantine XI Palaiologos?
answer: emperor
context: Title: Constantine XI Palaiologos
  Passage: Constantine XI Dragases Palaiologos, Latinized as Palaeologus (Greek: Κωνσταντῖνος ΙΑ' Δραγάσης Παλαιολόγος , "Kōnstantinos XI Dragasēs Palaiologos", Serbian: Константин XI Драгаш Палеолог, "Konstantin XI Dragaš Paleolog" ; 8 February 1405 – 29 May 1453) was the last reigning Byzantine Emperor, reigning as a member of the Palaiologos dynasty from 1449 to his death in battle at the fall of Constantinople.  Following his death, he became a legendary figure in Greek folklore as the "Marble Emperor" who would awaken and recover the Empire and Constantinople from the Ottomans.  His death marked the end of the Roman Empire, which had continued in the East for 977 years after the fall of the Western Roman Empire.
  Title: Giovanni Giustiniani
  Passage: Giovanni Giustiniani Longo (Greek: , "Iōánnēs Lóngos Ioustiniánēs"; Latin: "Ioannes Iustinianus Longus" ; 1418–June 1, 1453) was a Genoese captain, a member of one of the greatest families of the Republic of Genoa, a kinsman to the powerful house of Doria in Genoa, and protostrator of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire.  He led 700 professional soldiers, both Genovese and Greeks from the island of Chios, which at the time was part of the Republic of Genoa, to the defense of Constantinople against the Ottoman army of Sultan Mehmed II in 1453.  He personally financed, organized and led this expedition on his own initiative, and upon arriving was placed in command of the land defenses by Emperor Constantine XI Palaiologos of the Byzantine Empire.  Giustiniani was key in controlling the land forces and keeping the Greeks, Genoese and Venetians from quarrelling with each other, and instead kept focused on repairing the land walls after the Ottoman cannons had shot holes in them.  It was at least partly because of Giustiniani's charisma that the Byzantine forces were able to hold out so long against overwhelming odds.
  Title: Fall of Constantinople
  Passage: The Fall of Constantinople (Greek: Ἃλωσις τῆς Κωνσταντινουπόλεως , "Halōsis tēs Kōnstantinoupoleōs "; Turkish: ' Conquest of Istanbul) was the capture of the capital of the Byzantine Empire by an invading army of the Ottoman Empire on 29 May 1453.  The Ottomans were commanded by the then 21-year-old Ottoman Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror, who defeated an army commanded by Byzantine Emperor Constantine XI Palaiologos.  The conquest of Constantinople followed a 53-day siege that had begun on 6 April 1453.
  Title: George Sphrantzes
  Passage: George Sphrantzes, also Phrantzes or Phrantza (Greek: Γεώργιος Σφραντζής or Φραντζής; 1401 – c. 1478) was a late Byzantine Greek historian and Imperial courtier.  He was an attendant to Emperor Manuel II Palaiologos, "protovestiarites" ("Lord of the Imperial Wardrobe") under John VIII Palaiologos, and a close confident to Constantine XI Palaiologos.  He was an eyewitness of the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, made a slave by the victorious Turks, but ransomed shortly afterwards.  Sphrantzes served the surviving members of the Palaiologian family for the next several years until taking monastic vows in 1472.  It was while a monk he wrote his history, which ends with the notice of Sultan Mehmed II's attempt to capture Naupaktos, which he dates to the summer of 1477; Sphrantzes is assumed to have died not long after that event.
