The Fires of 1204: How the Fourth Crusade Burned Constantinople
In 1204, the Fourth Crusade did not reach Jerusalem. Instead, it sacked Constantinople, the greatest Christian city in the world. Lucas and Luna explore the events leading to that catastrophe: the blind Venetian doge Enrico Dandolo, the diversion to Zara, the siege, the fires that gutted the city, and the Latin Empire that followed. They discuss how the crusaders' greed and religious fervor destroyed centuries of art and relics, and why many Orthodox Christians still view the Fourth Crusade as an unforgivable betrayal.
