Between 1414 and 1418, the small town of Constance was the scene of a geopolitical world event. Ecclesiastical and secular leaders gathered at the council to discuss the pressing issues of the day. Also at the table, alongside popes, kings, bishops and knights, was the churchman Gregorios Tsamblak. The Orthodox dignitary, who comes from today's Bulgaria, undertook an arduous journey and assumed a double role in Constance: he was the envoy of the Grand Duke of Lithuania and at the same time the representative of the Byzantine Emperor, who urgently needed help in the fight against the Ottomans. The church historian Dr Mihai-Dumitru Grigore has followed in Tsamblak's footsteps.
