A proposito di questo titolo

In 1204, the Fourth Crusade, originally aimed at Egypt, was diverted to Constantinople, where crusaders sacked the city and carved up the Byzantine Empire. This episode explores the tangled web of politics, Venetian manipulation, and religious schism that led to this catastrophe. We discuss the role of Doge Enrico Dandolo, the blind Venetian leader who masterminded the diversion, the siege and fall of the city, the establishment of the Latin Empire, and the long-term consequences for Byzantium. The episode also covers the contested term 'crusade' for this event, the looting of relics, and the enduring legacy of the Fourth Crusade in Greek memory.
