Explanation: The 4th Crusade was initiated by the Catholic Church in order to attack Jerusalem and reclaim it from the Muslims for the sake of Christianity, since that's important or something. Instead, the crusaders (against the wishes of the Pope) ended up sacking Constantinople of the Byzantine Empire. That'll show those Christians for being a slightly different kind of Christian!
