Zara, Siege of

Years: 1202 - 1202

The Siege of Zara or Siege of Zadar (Croatian: Opsada Zadra) (November 10-November 23, 1202) is the first major action of the Fourth Crusade and the first attack against a Catholic city by Catholic crusaders.

The Fourth Crusade sacks the Croatian town of Zadar, a rival of Venice, despite letters from Pope Innocent III forbidding such an action and threatening excommunication.

“A generation which ignores history has no past — and no future.”

― Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love (1973)
