	Crusades task force
WikiProject Middle Ages To do:

Gibbon says that the 'epistles' of Innocent III contain a blow-by-blow of the action of the entire battle. i don't think these are online, nor are they at my university library. if anyone can find this, this article could be expanded significantly. another account of the battle is contained in the book The Deeds of the Bishops of Halberstadt (1209) Rehpotsirhc 18:27, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Probably more useful would be the vast secondary literature on the Fourth Crusade. Check the sources section of the Fourth Crusade article. Innocent's letters would be useful, but all the other sources already use them (and they are in Latin, anyway). Adam Bishop 19:57, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

I removed the qualification of Hungarian king's joining the crusade as ironical, since he obviously didn't take part in the siege. It would be far more useful to add what the king reaction to the sacking was (if anyone knows, please?).

The Croato-Hungarian king was furious, but could not take any actio because of the inner problems of the kingdom! User: emoutofthevee
