During the Fourth Crusade, feudal lords under the leadership of the Venetian Republic laid siege to Constantinople, conquering the city, and creating the Latin Empire.

In the middle of the 11th century, the idea of the ​​Crusades first appeared in Europe. The original goal was the liberation of Jerusalem. In the First Crusade, knights managed to capture Jerusalem in 1099. The city remained in Christian hands until Saladin’s conquest in 1187, after which time the Third Crusade was organized. Unsuccessful attempts to restore rule over Jerusalem and the failure of the campaign led to the launch of the Fourth Crusade. This failed crusade would lead not to the reconquest of Jerusalem, but to the siege of Constantinople.
