Pope Innocent III, elected to the throne of Saint Peter in 1198, set out almost immediately to expand on the successes of the Third Crusade by calling another Crusade to the Holy Land. In 1199, a close-knight circle of high-ranking French barons took the cross, and the seeds of the Fourth Crusade were born. In this episode, J Stephen Roberts and Rand Brown are joined by special guest Joe Vicinanzo. We discuss relations between the Byzantine Empire and the Latin West, Pope Innocent's rise, the calling of the Crusade, and the striking of a deal in Venice with Doge Enrico Dandolo.
