The origin of the blockade was the meddling of the Roman Empire in the affairs of the Ottomans. Enraged by this, Sultan Bayezid demanded that the Empire be taught a lesson, and so ordered the blockade of the city. To counter a potential siege, Emperor Manuel II left the city and traveled across Europe with his family, pleading support for what he called "the front line of Christendom," even though the Ottomans were already pressing on the borders of Hungary.

| - The origin of the blockade was the meddling of the Roman Empire in the affairs of the Ottomans. Enraged by this, Sultan Bayezid demanded that the Empire be taught a lesson, and so ordered the blockade of the city. To counter a potential siege, Emperor Manuel II left the city and traveled across Europe with his family, pleading support for what he called "the front line of Christendom," even though the Ottomans were already pressing on the borders of Hungary. Manuel II was remarkably successful, and marshaled the support of many nations in Europe. Due to the relative safety of the waterways off of Constantinople, a large force was assembled inside the city's walls, ready should the Ottomans begin an attack. Despite the army, conflict was ultimately avoided by the Treaty of Aegina, which ended the blockade and any Roman interference in the Ottoman Sultanate.
