Years: 1204 - 1204
July

Boniface, having reluctantly accepted Baldwin’s installation as emperor, hopes to make himself quite independent of the empire, to do no homage for his kingdom, and he opposes Baldwin's proposal to march to Thessalonica.

The antagonism between Flemings and Lombards aggravates the quarrel.

Baldwin insists on going to Thessalonica; Boniface lays siege to Adrianople, where Baldwin has established a governor; civil war seems inevitable.

An agreement is effected by the efforts of Dandolo and the count of Blois.

Boniface wins this dispute by handing over his assigned territory on Crete to the Venetians and receives Thessalonica as a fief from the emperor, and is appointed commander of the forces which are to march to the conquest of Greece.
