In this thorough revision of a part of the author's doctoral thesis (at the U. of Ghent), the Crusader Latin rule in Constantinople is examined in painstaking detail, based on contemporary chronicles and other data, and with attention to the changing role and involvement of the Byzantine political elite. The ramifications on Byzantine religion are the subject of a separate chapter, with discussion of the practice of religion, the Latin takeover of local monasteries, division and confiscation of Byzantine churches and their goods among Latin orders, and the role of the Pope. Other chapters discuss in similar detail the ruling Latins' impact on issues of landownership and power; the wider Latin Orient, including their presence in Cyprus; the imperial elite and the imperial quarter; and the imperial authority throughout the empire. Van Tricht, a specialist in 13th-century Byzantium, is guest professor of medieval history at the U. of Ghent, Belgium. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
