Drawing of Geoffroi de Villehardouin, Marshal of Champagne. He was one of the leaders of the 4th Crusade. In the background is Venice. Next to him are several bags of coins.
Episode 50. Show Me The Money. Here's our Crusading Chronicler, Geoffroi de Villehardouin, with bags full of cash. It's not enough to pay for the fleet, though. And that means trouble, with a capital T, which rhymes with Zee, and that stands for Zara. 👑
