Crusaders against Christians: The Fourth Crusade part 1
May 4, 20261h 20m
Show notes
Of all the Crusades, this one may be the worst. It is the story of how an army of Crusaders end up fighting only other Christians, and it ends with the sacking of Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire and the heart of the eastern Christian world. It is a tale of mistakes, greed, and misjudgment. Along the way we meet a runaway prince with delusions of grandeur, and the powerful city state of Venice, with world class shipbuilders and intense ambitions.
