How could you fill 1392 with one sentence on the umpteen-bajillioneth siege of Constantinople when you could have written about the King of France going batshit crazy (while on campaign against the Duke of Brittany who was harboring the attempted-murderer of the French Constable) and murdering several members of his retinue, then wasting 1393 by not describing the Ball of Flames... Come on, where's your sense of drama?
