daca vrei sa fii bun ,nu fa paralela intre cele doua evenimente.cruciatii au fost primiti ca prieteni si sau comportat salbatec,iar alungarea latinilor a fost o rascoala impotriva samavolniciilor latinilor care subjugau pe greci.daca vrei sa fii drept nu fi partinitor.nu contest greseli sau facut de ambele parti dar nu trebuie judecate cu partinire

Descrierea unui contemporan:

"Regardless of treaties and the many services which our people had rendered to the empire, the Greeks seized all those who appeared capable of resistance, set fire to their houses, and speedily reduced the entire quarter to ashes. Women and children, the aged and the sick, all alike perished in the flames. To vent their rage upon secular buildings alone, however, was far from satisfying their unholy wickedness; they also set fire to churches and venerated places of every description and burned, together with the sacred edifices, those who had fled thither for refuge. No distinction between clergy and laymen, except that greater fury was displayed toward those who wore the honorable habits of high office or religion. Monks and priests were the especial victims of their madness and were put to death under excruciating torture. Among these latter was a venerable man named John, a subdeacon of the holy Roman church, whom the pope had sent to Constantinople on business relating to the church. They seized him and, cutting off his head, fastened it to the tail of a filthy dog as an insult to the church. In the midst of such frightful sacrilege, worse than parricide, not even the dead, whom impiety itself generally spares, were suffered to rest undisturbed. Corpses were torn from the tombs and dragged through the streets and squares as if the insensate bodies were capable of feeling the indignities offered them."

Cam patru mii dintre cei care au supravietuit au fost vanduti in sclavie turcilor.

Rascoala impotriva samavolniciilor, ha ? Mai iti lipseste putin sa pretinzi ca erau stramosii lui Iancu Jianu, luptand impotriva grofilor papistasi.
