SeriesA History of Byzantium #3
A narrative story of Byzantium. From the accession of Alexius in 1081, through the Fourth Crusade - when an army destined for the Holy Land was diverted to Constantinople by the blind, octogenarian but crafty Doge of Venice - to the protracted struggle against the Ottomans. This book forms the climax to the story of Byzantium.
