Venice & the Crusades
This documentary explores the ambitious role Venice played in the Crusades, using its wealth and sea power to steer the course of holy war. It reveals how the maritime republic turned religious campaigns to its own commercial advantage, most notoriously in the sack of Constantinople. The film traces the tangled mix of faith, greed and politics behind these events. Concise and illuminating, it offers a fresh angle on medieval history. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
