Michael Critobulus
Michael Critobulus ((ギリシア語:Μιχαήλ Κριτοβούλος), c. 1410 – c. 1470) was a Greek politician, scholar and historian. He is known as the author of a history of the Ottoman conquest of the Eastern Roman Empire under Sultan Mehmet II. Steven Runciman included Critobulus' work, along with the writings of Doukas, Laonicus Chalcondyles and George Sphrantzes, as one of the principal Greek sources for the Fall of Constantinople in 1453.〔Runciman, ''The Conquest of Constantinople: 1453'' (Cambridge: University Press, 1969), pp.192-195〕
Critobulus is a Romanization of the name, which is alternatively transliterated as Kritoboulos, Kritovoulos, Critoboulos; sometimes with Critobulus' provenance affixed (e.g. ''Critobulus of Imbros'').
==Biography==
Critobulus' birth name was ''Michael Critopoulos''. He changed this modern Greek family name to the more classical-sounding ''"Kritoboulos"'' in reference to a figure of that name in the dialogues of Plato.
He belonged to a family of landowners on the island of Imbros. In the 1450s he was a local political leader of the island and played an active role in the peaceful handover of Imbros, Limnos and Thasos to the Ottomans after the final breakdown of the Byzantine Empire.〔Babinger, Franz. ''Mehmed the Conqueror and His Time'', edited by William C. Hickman and translated by Ralph Manheim (Princeton: University Press, 1978), pp. 97f〕
