I doubt it. The 4th Crusade devastated the Byzantines, but the 1st Crusade may well have saved them from the Saljuk Turks.
I love being able to have discussions like this. So few people know this stuff anymore.
I can’t keep the labels of the different groups of people straight thru-out history. I just know that lots of library’s and scriptoriums were burned or otherwise destroyed and IT PISSES ME OFF.
