King Louis, accompanied by his wife Eleanor…
October 1147 CE
King Louis, accompanied by his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine, follows the land route across Europe about a month behind the Germans and arrives at Constantinople on October 4.
A few of his more hotheaded followers, on hearing that Manuel has made a truce with the Turks of Iconium and totally misunderstanding the motives, accuse the Emperor of treason and urge the French king to join Roger in attacking him.
Louis, preferring the opinion of his less volatile advisers, agrees to restore any imperial possessions he might capture.
