The Fourth Crusade was an armed expedition by western European Crusaders to reclaim Jerusalem, which was under the control of the Muslims at the time. Despite this stated aim, a series of economic and political events instead led to the sacking and capture of Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire.

Prior to the city's sacking, the Mentor of the Levantine AssassinsAltaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, had hoped to spread the Assassin ideology to the Byzantine Empire, but was forced to cut his stay in Constantinople short to return to Masyaf.
