>live in Constantinople in 13th century
>live in one of the largest and fabulous cities of the entire world
>earn a good living by working as a bureaucrat in one of the Empire's many administrative departments: have enough money to send my son to our renowned university so that he can also study to become a bureaucrat and to marry off my daughter to some minor nobility
>live in luxury and comfort completely unknown to the people of Western Europe despite being a middle-class man: eat a diet supplemented by exotic spices and quality foodstuffs gained from trade, dress in silks produced domestically, regularly attend the public baths, and go watch the races at the Hippodrome
>suddenly, barbarian cringey Crusaders shouting "le Dayus Volt xDD!" ransack the city
>economy destroyed thanks to their implementation of primitive feudialism on a population that has never known it
>universities and libraries burned to the ground, my son is now a NEET
>the nobility scattered or dead, I have to marry my daughter off to some ugly filthy Venetian to conceal her rape
>the bureaucratic departments dismantled, have to join my son in NEETdom; starvation and famine ensue because the faggot barbarians can't into administration or economics
