Histoire De La ConquÃate De Constantinople [French]

By Natalis de Wailly, Geoffroi de Villehardouin, Natalis Henri

Histoire de la Conqu ate de Constantinople by Geoffroi de Villehardouin offers a firsthand account of one of the most significant events in medieval history: the Fourth Crusade and the capture of Constantinople in 1204. Villehardouin, a prominent knight and marshal of Champagne, provides a detailed narrative of the political maneuvering, military campaigns, and key figures involved in this pivotal crusade.

This edition, carefully edited by Natalis de Wailly, presents Villehardouin's chronicle in its original French, making it an invaluable resource for students and scholars of medieval history and literature. The text illuminates the complex motivations behind the crusade, the interactions between Western European crusaders and the Byzantine Empire, and the lasting impact of the conquest on both Eastern and Western civilizations. Villehardouin's work remains a crucial primary source for understanding the events that shaped the medieval world.
