The Latin Empire: Crusaders in Constantinople
In 1204, crusaders of the Fourth Crusade conquered Constantinople and established the Latin Empire, a short-lived state that ruled parts of Byzantium for 57 years. This episode explores the Latin Empire's founding, its struggles against Byzantine successor states like the Empire of Nicaea and the Despotate of Epirus, the role of Emperor Baldwin I and his successors, and the cultural and religious tensions between Catholic Latins and Orthodox Greeks. We discuss the Partitio Romaniae, the division of Byzantine territories, the Latin resistance to Bulgarian attacks, and the ultimate restoration of Byzantine rule under Michael VIII Palaiologos in 1261. Lucas and Luna examine how this period of occupation reshaped Constantinople and set the stage for the later Ottoman conquest.
