ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
Instead of fighting against the Muslims and deliberating the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem, the crusaders of the Fourth Crusade diverged from their course and were unexpectedly found on the shores of Bosporos. After occupying Constantinople on the April of 1204, they caused the collapse of the Byzantine Empire. Certain sources from the pen of the participants themselves or of the witnesses from the Byzantine (Niketas Choniates) or the Latin side (Geoffrey Villehardoin and Robert de Clari) described in detail these dramatic events after which the situation in the southeastern Europe totally changed. |
