    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. The only problem was Alexios was full of crap and unable to deliver on any of his promises.

  • 115: The Fourth Crusade: Part One: The Venetian Republic
    Aug 15 2024

    The 4th Crusade was called almost immediately after Richard the Lionheart's successes. Its intention was to deal a knock-out punch to the Ayyubid Dynasty and retake the Holy City of Jerusalem. But there is a problem: no one wants to go. When the Pope finally rallied enough Crusaders to go on Crusade, they spent all of their money on a fleet hired from the Venetian Republic, but the trouble with Venice, is that they also spent all of their money building the fleet, and they, too, are broke; so a last-minute change in plans saw the Crusader Army pointed away from the Holy Land, and directed at their local rivals in Dalmatia.

    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.

    Saladin and his mighty army defeated the Knights of Jerusalem and the Knights Templar at the battle of Hattin and then conquered Jerusalem.

For the first time in nearly one hundred years, a crusade was called to liberate Jerusalem.
