| Summary: | Ovidiu Cristea, researcher at the Institute for History «Nicolae Iorga» of the Romanian Academy (Bucharest), deals in this article with the medieval chronicle of Henri de Valenciennes, entitled Histoire de l’empereur Henri de Constantinople (published by Jean Longnon at Paris in 1945). This is a direct testimony of the fall of Constantinople in 1204. In general, the historians, taking into account the projects of the crusade as drawn by Henri I de Hainaut, preserved the image, not totally unbiased (given its political and diplomatic connotations), that the Latins promoted the idea of a collaboration between Constantinople and Jerusalem. Valenciennes’ text, being a direct testimony, reveals another point of view, according to which the Latins were to identify the war against the enemies of Constantinople with a new crusade. |
