In 1204 the military of the Fourth campaign sacked the good urban of Constantinople. In prior historiography the view prevailed that those Western barons and knights briefly destroyed the Byzantine nation and changed it with a chain of feudal states in their personal making. via a finished rereading of higher and lesser-known assets this publication deals an alternate point of view arguing that the Latin rulers didn't abolish, yet very consciously desired to proceed the japanese Empire. during this, the recent imperial dynasty coming from Flanders-Hainaut performed a pivotal position. regardless of non secular and different changes many Byzantines sided with the recent regime and administrative practices on the diversified governmental degrees have been to a bigger or lesser measure maintained.

His brother Michael Choniates, metropolitan of Athens, in 1205 went into exile on the isle of Kea, on the Attican coast, and in 1217 entered the Joannes Prodromos monastery at Bodonitza, which was under Latin rule.
