He backed his solicitations with a solemn promise, that he would restore union between the Latin and Greek churches by the extinction of schism, and would contribute to the conquest of Palestine, by furnishing men and money, in case they placed him on the throne of Constantinople. The prince's offer was of too in- teresting a nature not to be accepted. The prince went on board the Venetian fleet, sailed down the Adriatic, and within six days anchored before the port of Constantinople. The cowar...dly usurper fled at the sight ; the Latins entered the imperial city by force, and caused the young Alexis to be crowned emperor on the first of August, 1203. The blind and degraded Isaac freely ratified all that was done both by his son and the Latins. From these beginnings singular advantages were expected. But Alexis had too much of the Greek in him to be long sincere. He first broke his engagements, then quarrelled with his benefactors. A powerful opposhion likewise soon showed itself against him as a creature of the Latins.
