This is a comprehensive look at the Fourth Crusade from the Eastern Roman perspective. One of the medieval period’s worst tragedies. Join me as I talk with Andrew of Shadows of Constantinople and he walks us through the history of the Fourth Crusade, beginning centuries prior, all the way to the disaster of 1204. Was a clash between East and West inevitable? Many thanks to Andrew for this EPIC conversation that went for well over three hours!
