A force motivating one side in this clash was a student of Peter Chanter, the organizer of a meeting at Écry. A first-hand account of this conflict is the so-called Conquest by another organizer of that same side, Geoffrey of Villehardouin. One motivating factor in the eventual shape of this war was a large-scale massacre perpetrated 20 years earlier by groups celebrating the coup of Andronicus I. Galvanized by Fulk of Nueilly, the aggressors in this war were led first by Thibault of Champagne and then by Bonifaceof Montferrat, who joined with Enrico Dandolo in contravening Innocent III's letter on this campaign by attacking Zara. For 10 points, name this war that ended with the foundation of the Latin Kingdoms after Western Christian knights and Venetians sacked Constantinople in 1204.
