In 1200 AD CE Pope Innocent II initiated a call to arms to once again save Jerusalem. What follows is a summary of the surprise events of this crusade:
A. Turnout of fighters for this crusade was less than previous ones;
B. As per tradition the troops met in Venice, the main point of departure for the trip to the East;
C. The Crusaders, however, were short on funds to pay for the expedition;
D. Help of sorts came from the Venetians;
E. Venice at the time was a powerful trading city and hatched a bold idea;
F. The Crusaders were convinced to attack another Christian trading city in Hungary called Zara;
G. The booty from Zara would pay for the Crusaders main mission, Jerusalem;
H. Enraged, the Pope excommunicated the tricky Venetians;
I. Proceeding forward, the Crusaders were then swayed to help out in Constantinople;
J. As the Crusaders failed to be paid for helping out a deposed Byzantine emperor, they sacked Constantinople; and
K. They never made it to the Holy Land.

The fourth crusade was a children's crusade. The children set off to take back Jerusalem which was under control of the seljuk turks. The children never made to Jerusalem but instead attacked constantinople on accident. They mistook it for Jerusalem. The children lost and the ones who escaped were tricked into being sold into slavery.
Because the truce between Richard and Saladin did not last, so the Fourth Crusade happened.
The Fourth Crusade began with the siege of the city of Zadar (aka Zara), a major port on the Adriatic Sea. From there the crusaders crossed the Mediterranean Sea to Egypt.
The Fourth Crusade lasted from 1202 to 1204.
