On August 15, 1199, Pope Innocent III called for a renewed effort to deliver Jerusalem from the Infidel, but the Fourth Crusade had a very different outcome from the one he preached. Proceeding no further than Constantinople, the Crusaders sacked the capital of eastern Christendom and installed a Latin ruler on the throne of Byzantium. This revised and expanded edition of The Fourth Crusade gives fresh emphasis to events in Byzantium and the Byzantine response to the actions of the Crusaders. Included in this edition is a chapter on the sack of Constantinople and the election of its Latin emperor.

Seller: Eighth Day Books, LLC, Wichita, KS, U.S.A.
Paper Back. Condition: New. A revised edition of the most thorough modern account of one of the saddest, most sordid episodes in the history of Christendom: the conquest of the already-declining City by a crusading army of Venetians in 1204, inaugurating the sixty-year Latin kingdom there. Somewhere in our quest ''for the union of all mankind'' the hardest truths must be faced, and many times those truths lie in the bitter history of mankind's sundering. Original sources are exhaustively exploited in this retelling (as a concluding essay by Alfred Andrea details), and the scholarly apparatus is extensive. The scrutiny focused by our authors on the events makes partisanship and polemics superfluous. Seller Inventory # 15940
