Alexius III

1195-1203

Alexius III was the brother of Isaac II whom he had deposed and blinded in a plot. If Isaac was unpopular then Alexius turned out to be even more so. He continued a policy of pilfering his own people for his personal benefit and couldn't care less what troubles were brewing outside so long as his own life of luxury was guaranteed.

As the Franks and Venetians who made up the bulk of the Fourth Crusade set their sights squarely on Constantinople he did not even give orders to fortify the defensive positions of the city or store any provisions in case of a siege. When at last the Crusade did arrive he panicked on account of their strength and, on news that a puppet had been selected to replace him, fled to the countryside with all his women, jewels and the tidy sum of 10,000 pounds of gold.
