Request crusade

[ForVictory]

I think it would be great if there was an event that could make a crusade against Constaninopel and i dont mean when its under the Muslims but against the Byzantines.
If it fails or not i think there should be called upon once in the game.

Fourth Crusade is much better simulated by a christian ruler (or several of them) having a claim on Byzantion and forcing it, as Fourth Crusade didn't really happen with Papal Blessing...

Fourth Crusade didn't really happen with Papal Blessing...

In fact, all of the participants were excommunicated.

Soon after, after realising the political significance of a latin Constantinople it was lifted though, but that was more due to realpolitik then pious re-eavualtions...

If you can conquer well enough and kill well enough, who cares about the Pope? I'd love to see that in an event, the Pope alarmed by your success at killing large numbers of fellow, revokes your excommunication.
