Emperors from Constantine I to Constantine
XI Palaeologus contributed their strength to the empire. Contributions
in encouraging the growth of the church, establishing the doctrine of
the church, arranging the decoration of public places, and leading the
army to battle, unified the other elements of the society with a
common icon which the people could see. The final emperor was so close
to his people he refused to flee Constantinople when its fall was
eminent and fought to his own death with his people in defense of his
empire.
