Hello everyone and welcome to the
1:35
history of Byzantium Episode Two Hundred
1:38
and Eighty Seven. Count.
1:40
Baldwin. Of Flanders and hey,
1:42
know, The
1:45
city has former. President
1:47
has fallen. Once the lot in said
1:49
emptied Constantinople of it's movable wealth, it
1:51
was time to get down to business.
1:54
The. Business of annexing the Roman
1:56
Empire. Before.
1:59
they hit even taken the city. The
2:02
Crusaders had agreed what would happen when
2:04
they did. Abandoning
2:06
the cause of Jerusalem, they
2:08
managed to convince themselves that
2:10
conquering the entirety of Romania was
2:12
their new sacred duty. I
2:16
think we can all agree that bringing
2:18
these heretical Christians into line and under
2:20
the Pope's authority is now our number
2:23
one priority, and the best
2:25
way to achieve that is to steal all
2:27
their land and divide it amongst ourselves. Only
2:30
as their new landlords can we properly
2:32
correct their foolish ways. Agreed?
2:35
Agreed. Jokes
2:38
aside, it's interesting that the Latins intended
2:40
to take over the whole empire, rather
2:43
than dividing it up or dispensing
2:45
with its norms entirely. I
2:48
think this was driven by the Venetians,
2:50
who had gambled heavily on this mission
2:52
succeeding and couldn't risk
2:54
the Byzantines returning to power
2:57
and taking revenge. It
2:59
also suited the ideological fiction that
3:02
the reunion of Eastern and Western
3:05
churches was a serious motivation for
3:07
the Crusades' volunteers. They
3:11
didn't plan on running things exactly as the
3:13
Romans had done, as we'll see. Their
3:16
intention was probably for the Empire to
3:18
operate in a similar way to Utremit,
3:21
with different regions run by different
3:23
lords, but with one leader who
3:26
they all ultimately owed allegiance to.
3:30
The formal agreement reached in their camp
3:32
before the sack looked like this.
3:36
Once the city was taken, a
3:38
committee of six Venetians and six
3:40
Crusaders would elect a new Emperor.
3:44
If a Crusader was chosen as the
3:46
new Vassilefs, as was expected,
3:49
then a Venetian would become the
3:51
new Patriarch. The
3:53
former would receive the Imperial palaces at each
3:55
end of the city And
3:57
one quarter of all Roman land.
4:01
Then a second committee would convene, this
4:03
time made up of twelve A nations
4:06
and twelve Crusaders to agree how to
4:08
dish out the other three quarters of
4:10
bland. Finally,
4:13
everyone swore to remain in
4:15
Byzantium for another twelve months
4:17
in order to consolidate their
4:19
control over the empire. The
4:22
Leadership: We're well aware that many of
4:24
those who taken vows to travel to
4:26
Jerusalem would keen to get home. As
4:29
where the Venetian sailors but have lots
4:32
of people left. As soon as New
4:34
Rome was sacked then it would be
4:36
impossible to establish control over. So.
4:42
Once the city was taken, it was time to
4:45
have an election. It would
4:47
obviously be one of the leaders of
4:49
the crusade who would be chosen to
4:52
become the new emperor. And since the
4:54
douche enrico down dello was blind in
4:56
his nineties and the head of another
4:59
state, it clearly wasn't going to be
5:01
him. Technically
5:04
the leader of the Fourth Crusade
5:06
was Boniface of month for at,
5:08
and he certainly thought a position
5:10
should be his. The
5:13
Italian had been a driving force
5:15
behind the diversion to Constantinople, and
5:17
he had family history here. Both
5:19
his brothers had held the rank
5:21
of Caesar and he was no
5:23
in pole position to go one
5:25
better. The
5:28
other leading nobleman world French,
5:30
Baldwin of Flanders, Louis of
5:32
Blow Off and Sue of
5:34
St. Paul. The
5:36
election that followed went against
5:39
Boniface. The Marquess of
5:41
Month for at quickly realized that he
5:43
was going to be frustrated. you
5:46
see the crusade a contingent was
5:48
dominated by men from france that's
5:50
where recruitment for this campaign had
5:52
been sent it and boniface it
5:54
only signed up later when the
5:56
original leader of the venture t
5:58
bo of show had
6:01
died unexpectedly. So
6:03
of the six Latin electors, at
6:06
most two were going to be Italians,
6:08
the rest were French. While
6:11
all six Venetian electors,
6:13
whatever their official protestations might be, were
6:15
going to vote the way Andalot
6:18
wanted them to. And
6:20
the Doge did not want the Marquess
6:23
of Montferrat. Boniface
6:26
was in his 50s. He
6:28
was an experienced political operator who
6:31
was already being hailed as Vassileves
6:33
by some Byzantines who remembered his
6:36
brothers and expected him to rule.
6:39
Montferrat is also just up the road
6:41
from Genoa, one of Venice's
6:44
only maritime rivals. There
6:46
was every chance that Emperor Boniface
6:48
might court the Byzantine people or
6:51
the Genoese to suit his own ends,
6:54
neither of whom the Venetians could trust.
6:57
Whereas a French Emperor would have no
6:59
such connections and would be more likely
7:01
to honor the agreements they had all
7:03
made back in their camp on the
7:05
Golden Horn, an agreement
7:08
which included the proviso that no
7:10
power at war with Venice would be
7:12
admitted into the Empire, a
7:14
veto which would allow Venice to
7:16
keep the Genoese and the Pisans
7:18
out of Byzantine harbors. Dandelos'
7:23
interactions with the other leaders led him
7:25
to believe that Baldwin, the Count of
7:28
Flanders and Hainau, was the
7:30
right man for the job. Baldwin
7:33
was born around 1172 in Valenciennes in northern France,
7:39
making him just 32 at the time
7:41
of the Fourth Crusade, a
7:44
much more pliable figure in Dandelos'
7:47
eyes. Baldwin's
7:49
family had many crusader connections, so
7:51
he took his mission seriously, and
7:54
everyone who wrote about him, including
7:56
Coniartes, acknowledged that he was a
7:58
genuinely pious knight. Faithful
8:01
to his wife, brave in combat and a
8:03
good leader. He was clearly
8:05
the popular choice amongst the French contingent.
8:08
He already had children back home who
8:10
would inherit his lands there. His
8:13
wife was on her way to New Rome, and
8:15
his brother Henry was on crusade with him.
8:19
So he seemed ready for the challenge, willing
8:22
to settle in these new lands, and
8:24
well supported by his family. He
8:27
was in no way a Venetian puppet. He
8:30
may well have won the election anyway, but
8:33
his respectful and deferential tone towards
8:35
the Doge impressed Dandolo,
8:38
and so the committee did not take long to deliberate.
8:42
It was announced to a huge crowd on
8:44
the 9th of May that
8:46
the Count of Flanders was to be the
8:48
new Roman Emperor. A
8:54
week later, Baldwin was led from the
8:57
great palace to the Achia Sophia to
8:59
be crowned. The Latins
9:01
employed many Byzantines in their new
9:03
administration who doubtless organised the coronation.
9:07
But the crusade leaders had all
9:09
been present when Alexios Angulos was
9:11
enthroned ten months earlier, so
9:13
they knew what the ceremony was supposed to look
9:15
like. Baldwin took
9:18
off the clothes of a knight
9:20
and put on imperial robes and
9:22
the red leather boots which marked
9:24
out a Vasilefs. He
9:26
entered the main body of the church and made his
9:28
way to the altar. He was
9:30
then anointed, as kings were in the
9:32
west, before a crown was placed on
9:34
his head. He was
9:37
also decorated with a huge gemstone
9:39
which had belonged to Manuil Comninos.
9:43
He sat on a throne for the rest
9:45
of the liturgy, holding a sceptre before being
9:47
led out of the church on a white
9:49
horse. He
9:51
returned to the palace to sit on
9:53
an ancient throne which the Latins believed
9:55
had belonged to Constantine I. There
9:58
he feasted his blood and was cast on the throne. men
10:00
before presiding over chariot races
10:03
and some jousting in the Hippodrome.
10:07
The Westerners were attempting to ape
10:09
Byzantine practice with a few tweaks
10:11
of their own in order to
10:13
legitimize their rule. They
10:16
had to get the quote-unquote Greeks on
10:18
board if they were going to make this
10:20
work, so it was
10:22
best to present Baldwin as just
10:24
another Roman Emperor who would respect
10:26
the traditions of men like Manowheel
10:29
and Constantine, a
10:32
figure who the local population should bow
10:34
down to and obey. The
10:40
second committee now got to work dividing
10:42
up the empire into fiefs for those
10:44
who'd risked their lives to capture such
10:46
a great prize. A
10:49
quarter of the empire belonged to Manowheel.
10:51
His lands included much of Thrace, as
10:54
in the approaches to Constantinople, which made
10:56
sense. The other sixteenths
10:58
of the empire was divided equally between
11:00
the Venetians and the Crusaders. There
11:04
was one major problem with this
11:06
division of course. None
11:08
of this land was actually in their possession.
11:11
It was all very well swapping territories like
11:13
trading cards, but you do actually have to
11:15
go and capture it all if you want
11:17
to collect its revenues. So
11:19
that was next on the agenda. Various
11:23
groups of Latins and Venetians headed
11:25
in different directions, depending on
11:27
where their assigned lands were, and
11:30
began a conquering. Spoiler
11:33
alert, but this is essentially why
11:35
the Latin Empire was doomed to
11:38
failure. The Fourth Crusade was not
11:40
actually a big enterprise. There
11:42
were a lot of sailors present, but the fighting
11:44
troops were small in number. If
11:47
they'd behaved like a true Roman
11:49
army and marched around the empire
11:51
as one, they might have been
11:53
able to hold it together. But
11:55
by splitting up in that acquisitive way
11:57
that the Latins were wont to do.
12:00
they diluted their strength. The
12:04
Emperor Baldwin decided to march
12:06
for Thessalonica. This would
12:09
allow him to tour his Thracian lands
12:11
and secure their surrender while also making
12:13
sure that the Empire's second city was
12:16
brought into the fold. This
12:18
was a sensible plan to make use of what
12:20
was left of the summer of 1204. As
12:25
he led his men out into Thrace, most
12:27
towns surrendered quickly. The
12:30
shell-shocked Byzantines were in no position to
12:32
resist. Troops were trained
12:34
to hold cities until the Emperor
12:36
arrived to relieve them, but with
12:38
Alexios Angelos Comlinos gone off to
12:40
Greece, Baldwin seemed to
12:42
be the only game in town. So
12:45
gates were flung open and Baldwin was
12:48
able to make ceremonial entrances into many
12:50
a Thracian city. This
12:52
pleased the Latin leadership as they were
12:54
able to make friendly contact with the
12:56
local Byzantine aristocracy whose support they would
12:59
need to keep the peace. It
13:02
was on this March that
13:04
Baldwin's agents found the blind
13:06
Motsuvlos, who was dispatched back
13:09
to Constantinople for judgment and
13:11
execution. When
13:14
the Vassillefs arrived at Thessalonica,
13:17
the city's leaders came out and offered
13:19
their surrender with a few conditions. They
13:23
were terrified that the Latins were here
13:25
to visit on them the same punishment
13:27
they had just meted out to Constantinople.
13:30
So they said they would happily accept a
13:32
Latin garrison and governor if the Emperor would
13:34
confirm them in their privileges.
13:37
Presumably this meant local officeholders would
13:40
maintain their rights and no new
13:42
taxes would be levied. Baldwin
13:45
was happy to oblige and respectfully
13:47
stayed in his camp. The
13:51
only hostility felt during Baldwin's March
13:53
was from Boniface of Montferrat. The
13:56
Marquess disgruntled at his election defeat had asked for
13:58
a few days to come. asked to be
14:01
given Thessalonica in compensation. But
14:03
Baldwin refused, pointing out that the
14:06
committee had assigned those lands to
14:08
other people. He
14:10
was similarly short with the Byzantine aristocrats
14:12
he met during his journey.
14:15
Many of them attempted to curry favour
14:18
with the new emperor and asked if
14:20
he would appoint them to various governorships,
14:22
but again Baldwin said no. He
14:25
had to make sure all his supporters
14:27
and the Venetians received what was owed
14:29
to them. He couldn't yet assign lands
14:31
to the locals or it might create
14:33
a mess. In
14:37
both cases this meant trouble. Boniface
14:40
threw a huge strop, as we'll
14:42
hear about next week. The
14:45
Latin leadership acted quickly to put a stop
14:47
to this conflict and in the end Baldwin
14:49
appeased Boniface by giving him most
14:52
of Greece, including Thessalonica.
14:57
Meanwhile the Byzantines were less than
14:59
impressed with their new overlords. As
15:03
Baldwin warmed himself by a fire
15:05
back at the palace, the Romans
15:07
spent the winter talking sedition. The
15:11
officials who'd opened their doors to
15:13
Baldwin felt they had no choice.
15:15
With their patron, Alexios Angelus Comninos,
15:17
gone, it was not clear who
15:19
they owed their allegiance to and
15:22
they had one eye on the Bulgarian
15:24
border. The
15:27
revived Bulgarian Empire had dealt the
15:29
Romans blow after blow during the
15:31
past two decades and the Czar,
15:33
Calajan, had taken advantage of the
15:36
arrival of the Fourth Crusade, sending
15:38
raiding parties into Thrace and seizing
15:40
forts south of the Hymnus Mountains.
15:44
Most of the Romans there hated the
15:46
Bulgarians. They had been suffering from
15:48
their attacks for a generation now. So
15:50
despite the sack of Constantinople, many
15:52
Byzantines were willing to welcome the
15:54
Latins in if they
15:57
could protect them from their northern enemy. But
16:01
now, doubts were growing about the
16:03
quote-unquote Emperor Baldwin. He'd
16:05
refused to embrace the local Byzantine
16:07
aristocracy. He'd given no assurances that
16:10
they could keep their lands, titles or salaries.
16:13
The tiny garrisons he'd left behind filled
16:15
no one with confidence. As
16:18
you know, the Crusaders didn't have that many men
16:20
to spare. The commander,
16:23
Reneur de Tri, for example,
16:25
occupied Philippopolis, a city of
16:27
thousands, with just 120 knights. They
16:31
would all have had attendants and squires and so on,
16:33
but for smaller fortresses, the
16:35
Latins were probably sending 20 to 100 men
16:38
only. It
16:41
was not an intimidating occupation. Roman
16:44
men began to think, what
16:47
if instead of joining with the Latins to
16:49
fight the Bulgarians, we join
16:51
the Bulgarians and annihilate the
16:53
Latins? That
16:56
seemed inevitable, so we might as
16:58
well pick the winning side. The
17:01
Tsar had spent some time in Constantinople.
17:03
He was not an entirely foreign figure.
17:07
It was a high-risk strategy, but
17:09
some even pondered whether Callaghan would
17:11
make a better Emperor than Baldwin. War
17:16
with Bulgaria was the last thing
17:18
the fledgling Latin Empire needed, but
17:20
unfortunately the new Vasilefs had already
17:23
alienated the Tsar. Callaghan
17:25
wrote to Baldwin after the sack,
17:27
in friendly terms, offering some
17:30
kind of alliance in exchange for land. The
17:33
Tsar had recently accepted the Pope's authority,
17:35
so this seemed an ideal moment for
17:38
the Latins and Bulgarians to stand over
17:40
the corpse of Byzantium and embrace one
17:42
another. But the
17:45
Latins seemed to have inherited all the
17:47
Roman prejudices against the Northern Kingdom. Meeting
17:51
the Vlax and their Cuban allies
17:53
as barbarians, unworthy of
17:55
normal courtesies. Baldwin
17:58
informed Callaghan that all
18:00
imperial territory south of the Hymas
18:02
was his, and that
18:04
any Bulgarians found squatting there would
18:07
be removed. In
18:11
February 1205, a
18:13
Roman rebellion broke out in Thrace. It
18:17
was centered on Adrianople, where
18:19
Byzantine soldiers slaughtered their Latin
18:21
garrison and invited the Bulgarians
18:23
into the country. Several
18:26
nearby forts followed suit.
18:30
Greatly alarmed by this, Baldwin put out a
18:32
general call to arms and marched north as
18:34
quickly as he could. This
18:37
was another mistake. Not
18:39
only were Boniface's men off in Greece,
18:41
but many of his own troops, including
18:43
his brother Henry, were over the water
18:45
in Anatolia, trying to capture the fiefs
18:47
that had been assigned to them. Though
18:51
they responded to the call, Baldwin did not
18:53
wait for them to catch up. Instead,
18:56
he and the Doge each led contingents
18:58
north to snuff out the rebels. Two
19:02
Thracian towns surrendered when the Crusaders
19:04
approached, and at Arcadiopolis, they
19:06
encountered some of the Czar's Cuban allies
19:08
and drove them away. A
19:11
swift direct response was the Latin way, and
19:13
it seemed to be walking. Baldwin
19:16
and Dandolo arrived at Adrianople at the
19:19
end of March. Adrianople
19:21
was the largest fortress town in
19:23
Thrace, and the prime recruiting ground
19:25
for Roman foot soldiers. The
19:27
Latins threw themselves into the siege with
19:30
typical enthusiasm. They began to
19:32
undermine the walls and were so focused
19:34
on their siege works that they seemed
19:36
unaware that the Czar and his army
19:38
were approaching. Calian
19:41
was wary of the Latin threat, but
19:43
when his scouts informed him of the
19:45
numbers he faced, he began to relax.
19:49
The Latins had perhaps a couple of
19:51
thousand men, while the Bulgarians
19:53
may have had double or even tripled that
19:55
number. They also knew the terrain
19:57
back to front, while the Latins were fresh off
19:59
the... boat and distracted by their siege.
20:04
Callegan sent in his Cumans to skirmish with
20:06
the enemy and try to draw them out
20:08
of their position. He was
20:10
very surprised at how easy this proved to
20:12
be. On the 13th April the steppe riders
20:15
approached the Latin encampment and peppered
20:17
them with arrows. Baldwin's
20:20
knights eagerly chased them away, pushing
20:22
their mounts hard in a fruitless
20:24
pursuit as the lighter-armed nomads dashed
20:26
back to the safety of their
20:28
camp. Intrigued
20:31
by the recklessness of their
20:33
actions, Callegan decided to test
20:35
Crusader resolve the next day.
20:38
His Cumans repeated their tactics
20:40
exactly, even retreating from the
20:42
onrushing Latins along the same road they
20:44
had used the day before. Baldwin
20:47
urged his men on, determined to get
20:49
to grips with the nomads. In
20:51
one-on-one combat there was no doubt who
20:53
would emerge victorious, but that's why you
20:56
don't chase men from the steppe. They
20:58
have no intention of giving you what
21:00
you want. With
21:02
the Latins exhausted and strung out along
21:04
the road, the Tsar led his army
21:06
in to surround them. Geoffrey
21:09
of Vilhadevan, one of the
21:11
crusade top brass, wrote afterwards
21:13
about the horrible scene. Knights
21:16
were cut down in their hundreds. The
21:19
Latin instinct was to stay and fight and
21:21
prove your bravery, but they
21:23
were by now a disorganized rabble and
21:26
many began to break away from the
21:28
fighting and ride back to Adrianople, a
21:31
shameful act in Geoffrey's eyes. He
21:34
describes it as flying back to camp,
21:37
and in a rather moving line he
21:39
concludes, quote, There
21:41
on the field remained the Emperor
21:43
Baldwin and Count Louis, who
21:45
would never fly. The Emperor
21:48
was taken alive and Count
21:50
Louis was slain. Horrified
21:56
and shocked, Dandlo organized a retreat
21:58
under the cover of darkness. As
22:01
the Latins made their way south, they
22:03
ran into the reinforcements they should have
22:05
waited for. Our
22:08
historian Coniates does not crow at
22:10
this Latin humiliation because, as he
22:13
notes bitterly, it merely
22:15
left the field open for the Cumans
22:17
to terrorize the native population. Robert
22:21
of Clary and Latin Knight wrote that it was
22:23
punishment for the Crusader leaders holding
22:26
back treasure for themselves after
22:28
the sack of Constantinople. It
22:32
was certainly an unmitigated disaster for
22:34
the new Latin Empire. The
22:36
Bulgarians ran riot in the aftermath. Their
22:39
alliance with the Romans saw most of Thrace
22:41
throw off Latin control. The
22:44
Crusaders held barely half a dozen forts by
22:46
the end of summer. And
22:49
worse was waiting for the doge when
22:51
he returned to Constantinople. It
22:53
had been a year since the sack of the city.
22:57
The Crusaders vows had expired. Seven
23:00
thousand pilgrims were loading their
23:02
possessions onto Venetian ships and
23:04
preparing to sail home. The
23:08
Latin leaders harangued them for abandoning the
23:10
enterprise in its hour of need, but
23:12
the rank and file had had enough. They
23:15
had been lied to and manipulated, forced
23:17
to sack Christian city after Christian city
23:19
in the name of a Crusade. They
23:22
were homesick and they were leaving. In
23:27
desperation the remaining leaders wrote to
23:30
the Pope to beg for reinforcements.
23:33
A year after their glorious conquest
23:35
of New Rome, the
23:37
Latin Empire seemed moribund.
23:43
As for the Emperor, no one
23:45
knows what became of him. The
23:48
most reliable sources suggest he was
23:50
taken back to Turinovo and
23:52
kept as a somewhat honored guest. But
23:56
twelve months later he was dead. Caloian
23:58
wrote to the Pope. simply saying that he
24:01
died in captivity. Perhaps
24:03
he'd suffered wounds on the battlefield.
24:05
Perhaps he was executed. Coniati's
24:08
claims he had his limbs cut off and
24:10
was thrown into a ravine for the birds
24:13
to chew on, though that
24:15
has the air of a Byzantine revenge
24:17
fantasy. The
24:19
Latins agreed that he was
24:21
gone and chose a new emperor
24:23
the following year, but
24:26
not everyone could accept this. Nineteen
24:31
years later, a man
24:33
living alone in the forests near
24:35
Valenciennes was recognized as
24:38
the long-lost Count of Flanders
24:40
and Hainau. The
24:42
emperor had returned home. People
24:46
flocked to see their long-lost
24:48
lord, and though various
24:50
physical and behavioral discrepancies were
24:52
pointed out by those who'd
24:54
known Baldwin, these were easily
24:56
dismissed. He had been a
24:59
prisoner and vagabond for years, trapped
25:01
amongst Greeks and Slavs. No
25:03
wonder he seemed different. Could
25:06
it be that Baldwin, guided
25:09
by God, really had survived
25:11
and returned to his homeland to
25:14
restore justice? Sadly
25:17
not. The fake Baldwin
25:19
was executed the following year, but
25:22
such was the legend of Baldwin,
25:24
Count of Flanders and Hainau, the
25:27
first Latin emperor of Constantinople, that
25:29
it took a long time for his
25:32
memory to fade. Paycast
