Venetians, Normans, and Franks

Release date: April 07, 2022

Map of Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa centered on the Mediterranean Sea with an inset map of the Peloponnese and Central Greece with the locations of Normandy, Sicily, Bari, Venice, Durrazzo, Constantinople, Crusader States, Crete, Thebes, Athens, Corinth, Vostitsa, Patras, Modon, Coron, Sparta, and Monemvasia.

Description:

The 4th Crusade in 1204 dramatically changed the Byzantine Empire - including the Peloponnese and Vostitsa. To understand what happened in 1204, we look at some new characters in this story - the Venetians, Normans, and Franks - and the events that led up to the 4th Crusade.
