They also played a great role in their decay, ruin and destruction. The crusader civil wars in late 13th centuries and these struggle for supremacy between these italian mercantile republics in outrumer was one of the nail in coffin of crusader states.

An enthralling force, Venice never ceases to amaze. Throughout the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, a thousand-year-old republic has extended its dominion over kings and princes. Despite their heinous deeds during the Fourth Crusade, I adore Venice.

[@nonnayerbusiness7704]

The massacre and enslavement of the Latin Quarter of Constantinople a generation before makes it more understandable why the animosity existed.

[@chaos-zc9yt]

That would be somewhat understandable in the case of Byzantium, but what the meek Catholic populace of Hungary's Zara castle have done against Venice except having some loot? :D And in this video too, Venice organizes a crusade, then stops for a year to besiege some fort on Corfu on the way for its own gains until its own crusaders start deserting and the crusader states message them that it would be nice if they finally did some, you know, crusading stuff :D Lol I think there are a number of more devout and zealous Christians nowadays than there were in Venice back then and hey, then it was the norm that everyone is just a heathen-bashing fananatic zealot

In my opinion Venice is a remnant of Rome. Its historical origins, architectural influence, cultural richness, political heritage, and integration with Roman culture all contribute to its undeniable connection to Rome. Venice's foundation in response to the fall of the Western Roman Empire, its resemblance to Roman urban planning and architecture, its inheritance of Roman cultural and artistic traditions, its development as an independent city-state with a similar political system, and its integration into the Roman province of Venetia et Histria all highlight its role as a remnant of Rome. In fact Venice is not just a remnant, but a vibrant embodiment of Rome's influence, preserving its legacy through the ages.

My question is wo negotiated with Venetians on behalf of Jerusalem about privilages they would receive in return for their military assistance to crusader states when Crusader King was in enemy captivity. Also it seems Venetians took great advantage of Baldwin-II"s captivity dictating more favourable terms for them upon Kingdom.

[@user-ic5ie9rj7v]

According to Andalusian sources in 499 AH or 1105 AD, a Crusader fleet of 70 ships perished due to a storm near Sicily. the fleet came from the Western Sea, meaning the Atlantic Ocean. It is likely that they were Nordic or English Years later, between 1107 and 1111 AD, a Norwegian fleet came to the Holy Land In 507 AH or 1113 AD, a Crusader fleet departed from France containing hundreds of ships and +150,000 fighters according to Ibn Adhari, was completely destroyed by a stotm and those in it perished .
