Why did the crusaders sack Constantinople?

They were autists

>>1538394
The Eternal Latin strikes again

Because the emperor didn't pay the amount of gold a powerless pretender with no idea what the economical situation of the Byz empire looked like.

>Fuck the Orthodox, am I right?
t. Every Catholic.
>Fuck the Catholics, am I right?"

>>1538394
Because the Greek retards killed their king and then refused to pay debts.

fucking top quality banter thats why

I just read a translation of Villehardouine's account of the crusade. His justification fell into essentially two parts:
1. Alexios, son of deposed emperor Isaac (or something like that) actually approached them and requested they attack Byzantium to restore his rightful throne
2. Once this had been accomplished (reasonably bloodlessly), Alexios refused to honor the deal he had been given originally

I am rather sure the Emperor did try to pay the money Alexios had promised them, even succeeding in paying half of it.

Complete bullshit. The crusaders laid a siege on Constantinople and when they won they put him on throne but he was removed by the populace before he even did a thing.

>Why did the crusaders sack Constantinople?
Because the citizens thought it was a good idea to try to ovethrow the new emperor while his army is still at the city's doors while waiting to be paid.

>>1538394
For undermining and backstabbing the crusaders on numeros occasions by making deals and alliances with muslims.

>>1538394
Crusaders dindu nuffin, they good bois they go to church

>>1538394
relics and shit

>>1539009

Just pay up Alexios, this all could have been avoided

>>1538478
And instead of killing him, they've proceeded to butcher the civilians, loot their houses and churches?

>>1540216
>him

Who?

>>1540226
The Emperor who broke his promise.

>>1540216
Soldiers want booty. Priests convinced the crusaders that those in Constantinople were heretics.

They were manipulated by the jew puppetmaster venetians

Italian perfidiousness and french jealousy

Venice wanted to dominate trade in the black sea.

Nobody hates the Orthodox. Catholics and Protestants often hate each other though. The best way to make a Jehovas witness fuck off is to say you're Catholic
