You do a lot of these types of quizzes and this is another great one.

When you choose the year for these quizzes is it with a specific intention, or is it simply a matter of having to use the data that's available?

Thanks! 1453 is a very important year in history, considering the Hundred Years' War came to an end and it was also the year of the Fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans.

Funny because Castlevania's portrayal of the region is completely wrong otherwise, haha.
