Departure of Mehmed VI, the last Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, 1922

During the last months of his life Thomas Doebele and Maarten Schmidt made a documentary film about him entitled Constant, Avant Le Départ (" Before Departure "), which features unique footage of Constant working on his last oil painting Le Piège ( The Trap ).

Samuel Rutherford attended Kenmure on his deathbed and later wrote a tract entitled The last and heavenly Speeches and glorious Departure of John, Viscount Kenmure, printed in Edinburgh in 1649, by Evan Tyler, His Majesty's Printer.

Since the Point of Departure which set this alternate history off is the survival of Richard the Lion Heart until 1219 and his success in eliminating the Capetians and making himself King of France, presumably in this history The Fourth Crusade of 1204 which fatally crippled the Byzantine Empire never took place.
