In this video, I look at the series of unfortunate events known as the Fourth Crusade.
CORRECTION: I misspoke when I said that the Ayyubid Sultanate disintegrated after Saladin's death in 1193. It actually survived into the 1250's.

The 1- 4 Crusades are a lot like the Indiana Jones franchise. The first is a classic, the second is largely overshadowed save for a few iconic moments, the third isn't as iconic as the first but is remembered very voraciously by a lot of people and has gone on to have perhaps the greatest lasting memory, and then there's a fourth one nobody likes talking about - coincidentally, both feature Shia LaBeouf.

3rd one was the most well known, and the most bombastic one. First one was TOO LOW BUDGET! in most of the adventure, they walked though hills, steppes and deserts. There are some many memorable moments, the dark humour is great. But! Most of it is just time filler, and most of war scenes are just them getting hunted down by seljuk militia. (Not even main army, especially on to mid 35 minutes of the movie) Third one is full of epic battles, large action scenes, heroes on both side, antiheroes, villains, traitors. Love hate betrayal intrigue... Most of the characters on first crusade are two dimentional characters, and/or comic relief characters, Weirdos etc. I think it's your nostalgia speaking

The Fourth Crusade basically ended before they departed from Venice. Everything that happened after they departed from Venice was essentially a series of secular, geopolitical conflicts on behalf of Venetian interests. Can't really call it a crusade if the Pope doesn't support it and it's not religiously motivated. Same reason we don't call the war between England and France a crusade. It's not religious.

Then why would the Pope establish an expansive papal legate in the Latin Empire of Constantinople? Because Venetian interests merged with Catholic interests, and therefore with Papal interests. That's why after centuries of Latin aggresion the saying "I would rather see the Muslim turban in the midst of the city than the Latin mitre" became popular among the Greek Romans.

@zxylo786 Жыл бұрын

@@Daniel-hp3tk Probably because the damage was already done? What were they supposed to do? The Latin Empire was going to be formed either way. Also that saying goes for the west as well. And historically the Byzantines were arrogant assholes who always feigned ignorance whenever a latin needed help. A massive conflict was inevitable.

The West is lucky to have had the Greek/Roman Empire in the East as it served as a buffer zone against the Islamic Turkish Ottoman conquest of Europe. The Ottomans would most likely have reached deep into Europe if it weren't for the Greek Byzantines. Less than 200 years after the fall of Constantinople, they were at the gates of Venice a powerful Empire at that time, but Ottomans almost conquered them. The Poles came and saved them. Unfortunately, the Greeks and many other Eastern Europeans became second class citizens in their own country.

@roberthaggerty510 Жыл бұрын

The term "Byzantine" may be acceptable at the present time since that is how most people today refer to what had historically been called the Eastern Roman Empire. Citizens of what was left of that empire actually still referred to themselves as "Romans" . In any event the term "Byzantium" however has no application to the 15th century since it had long since ceased to exist. It was the city that Constantinople was built upon in the 4th century..

The fault is as much the Byzantines' as it is the crusaders. Decades of political intrigue and one-upmanship - families doing what is best for themselves rather than what was best for the state!
