Politics and world events

Fourth crusade

  • August 19 : Boniface I of Montferrat arrives in Venice and officially takes over the leadership of the Fourth Crusade . Since fewer crusaders than expected have been recruited, they are unable to pay for the 200 ships rented by the Republic of Venice . The 85-year-old Doge Enrico Dandolo then took the cross himself and soon thousands of Venetians joined him.
  • Early October: The crusade leaves Venice. The direct crossing to Egypt was originally planned, but Dandolo convinced the troops to land in the Dalmatian port city of Zara, which was formerly controlled by Venice . Many crusaders refuse to help. But most of them are convinced by Dandolo's promise that their debts accumulated while waiting in Venice would be paid off. Pope Innocent III forbids the attack on the city and excommunicated the entire crusader army for it.
  • November 23 : After two weeks of siege , Zara is captured and devastated. Because of the advanced season, the army wintered in the city.

In addition to Johann's nephew Arthur, Gottfried von Lusignan, Hugo le Brun, Savary de Mauléon and over 200 knights are also captured. With the exception of Arthur, who is imprisoned in Falaise under the supervision of Hubert de Burgh , most of them are soon released.
