Proceeding no further than Constantinople, the Crusaders sacked the capital of eastern Christendom and installed a Latin ruler on the throne of Byzantium. This revised and expanded edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Fourth Crusade\u003c\/i\u003e gives fresh emphasis to events in Byzantium and the Byzantine response to the actions of the Crusaders.
