Summary: Good stuff
Comment: The Capture of Constantinople is an interesting history of the disastrous and controversial Fourth Crusade. Written by the monk Gunther of Pairis, it tells of the sacking of Greek Orthodox Constantinople by the Roman Catholic crusaders, casting the abbot Martin of Pairis as a hero. (In reality, Martin was viewed in an ambiguous light for his theft of holy relics from Orthodox churches.) Gunther serves as a kind of apologist for his abbot. The text is engaging and easy to read.
