The fate pf young, beautiful noblewomen as booty of war after the fall of constantinople in the hands of the ottoman turks.
Constantinople was the last bastion of Christendom in the East. A proud, formidable city with seemingly unassailable defenses. When it finally fell at the hands of the Ottoman Turks, the West trembled. The mighty Ottoman Empire could now sweep into Europe from the east unchecked.
By the time the last of the city's defenses collapsed, it was but a shadow of it's former glory. A city, exhausted by centuries of strife, unaided by the western powers, finally gave up the fight.
Its walls in tatters, its towers broken, its emperor slain and its populace enslaved.
All that was left for the Turks was the counting of the spoils and there were many... An orgy of abuse and pillaging beset the city. None were spared the cruel hands of the vengeful Turks. Too long the Byzantine walls had held them back, but no more. It was time to settle old scores upon a defeated people.
Blood flowed freely in the streets of Constantinople.
The young noblewomen were the most sought-after booty...
The story tells the fate of the women that suffered an ignominious slavery in the hands of the invaders. A story of crime, betrayal and humiliation in a harshly ruled Harem.
A great album blessed by the incomparable art of Ferres, the beauty of his heiresses...
...and the crudity of his images depicting the cruel ways of the Middle Ages....
The humiliation of the Christian noblewomen, now captives in this hideous Harem, is the hellish nightmare a young woman can be ever trapped in.
They are desirable women of outstanding beauty but they are the women of the hated enemy too. Nobody will defend them...
