Greetings all,

 

Today we reflect on  Crusader and Venetian forces attacked the fortifications at the Golden Horn during the Latin siege of Constantinople on April 9th in 1204 AD:

The assault forces were driven back and troops that landed came under heavy archery fire between the shore and the city walls.
