He Blinded 15,000 Men. The Enemy King Died of Shock.
In 1014, a Byzantine emperor captured 15,000 enemy soldiers. He blinded every single one. 99 out of every 100 completely blind. One eye left per hundredth man, just enough to lead the rest home. When the Bulgarian Tsar saw his army return, he died of shock. His name was Basil the Second. He ruled for 50 years. Expanded his empire to its largest size in five centuries. Never married. Never named an heir. And history almost completely forgot him. This is the full story: the puppet emperor, the power seizure, the blinding, and the 1,000 years of civilization Western history decided to leave out.
