Why do chuds try to absolve the Byzantines of their share of the blame for the Fourth Crusade?The Byzantines involved the Crusaders in their palace intrigue, failed to pay them after making lofty promises in exchange for their retaking the city from the usurper Alexios III; then they brutally murdered Alexios IV, who was well-liked by the crusade leaders and trying to levy the funds to pay them off.It was only after understanding that they wouldn't be paid anymore, and with the justification that the Byzantines had murdered their rightful lord, that the crusaders attacked the city.
