In our 1st episode of the 4th season of The History of Modern Greece, we discuss what stood out from the third season, and the impact of the crusades on the Greek World. We talk about our favorite male and female characters, as well as the heroes of the Crusades, such as Saladin, Bohemond, and Richard the Lion Heart. However, we also discuss how the 4th Crusade really shattered the Greco-Roman world and kickstarted the foundation of the modern nation of Greece. But Greece is still 600 years away.

The History of Modern Greece Podcast covers the Greek people's events from the fall of Constantinople in 1453 to the Greek War of Independence in 1821-1832, through to the Greco-Turkish War from 1919 to 1922 to the present day.

Once the Venetians and the Frankish Crusaders breached the city walls, the greatest sacking of a Roman city took place in all their history. The atrocities committed against the citizens of Constantinople are one of the greatest crimes against humanity in the Western World. Artifacts over a thousand years old were stripped and melted down... giant statues older than the Roman Empire were destroyed, and countless thousands were raped and murdered in the streets and in their own homes. The Roman-Byzantine Empire was destroyed and replaced by a Latin Empire. The Great Greek Power of the Middle Ages was brought to its knees.

For over a year now, a Latin Crusading Army has been camped outside of the Roman Capital City, Constantinople, and it quickly became apparent that there was no way they were going to leave. They hadn't the money to continue nor the support of the army to retreat in shame. The timer had run out, and the Crusaders were forced to turn against their Greek adversaries. The war had begun, and the Venetians and Franks attacked.

The Crusaders are lured away from their objective in Egypt by a tempting offer made by the son of the deposed Roman Emperor. If the Crusaders make a little side quest and restore the old Emperor to his throne, they will be rewarded with thousands of gold and silver coins, and all of their money troubles will be over forever.

King Richard and King Phillip left Western Europe for the long journey by sea to the holy land; they made a few stops along the way, including the casual conquest of the island of Cyprus. Meanwhile, back in Germany, the Holy Roman Emperor also decided to go on the Crusade, and he marched by foot through the Byzantine Empire and Anatolia... following the footsteps of the First Crusaders. One of the greatest military victories of the Third Crusade was carried out on the way to the holy land when Emperor Frederick Barbarossa captured the city of Iconium.
