    The 4th Crusade was called almost immediately after Richard the Lionheart's successes. Its intention was to deal a knock-out punch to the Ayyubid Dynasty and retake the Holy City of Jerusalem. But there is a problem: no one wants to go. When the Pope finally rallied enough Crusaders to go on Crusade, they spent all of their money on a fleet hired from the Venetian Republic, but the trouble with Venice, is that they also spent all of their money building the fleet, and they, too, are broke; so a last-minute change in plans saw the Crusader Army pointed away from the Holy Land, and directed at their local rivals in Dalmatia.
