Greetings all,
On this day, we commemorate the Crusader and Venetian attack on
fortifications at the Golden Horn during the Latin siege of
Constantinople on April 9th in 1204 AD:
In heavy fighting the
Crusader assault forces were driven back and troops that landed came
under heavy archery fire between the shore and the city walls.
-Marcus Cassius Julianus
