1171 CE

The Greeks, resentful of the increasing presence in Constantinople of Venetian merchants and the privileges accorded them following the two Crusades, entreat the emperor to act against them.

Following an anti-Latin demonstration in Constantinople in 1171, the emperor, to maintain order in his dominions, and egged on by Genoa, Pisa, and other of the Venetians' trading rivals, in a single day arrests all Venetian residents in Constantinople and the provinces and briefly confiscates their goods.
