This work is not an in depth analysis of the origins, development, or major figures of the Fourth Crusade. As a result anyone approaching the work expecting such a discussion will be undoubtably disappointed. However, this was not the intention of Nicolle or the Osprey Campaign series. The work’s focus is on offering the reader an introduction to the topic in a concise manor and in this way succeeds at this goal. Keeping this in mind, the entire work will undoubtedly remind the reader of an excerpt from Crusades focused textbook in both its voice and visual style which results in both positives and negatives. Gehört zur ReiheOsprey Campaign (237)
The Fourth Crusade was the first, and most famous of the 'diverted' Crusades, which saw the Crusade diverted from its original target, Ayyubi Egypt, to attack the Christian city of Zadar in modern Croatia instead, an attack that was little more than a mercenary action to repay the Venetians for their provision of a fleet to the Crusaders. This book examines the combined action and sacking of the city of Zara, which saw the Crusaders temporarily excommunicated by the Pope. It goes on to evaluate how the influence of the Venetians prompted an attack on Constantinople, analyses the siege that followed and describes the naval assault and sacking of the city which saw the Crusaders place Count Baldwin of Flanders on the Byzantine throne.
