After the Fourth Crusade in 1204, the crusader army sacked Constantinople. For 57 years Constantinople was ruled by Latin princes, until the city was recovered by the Byzantine Greeks in 1261. The Latins failed to take the entire empire and were resisted by the Byzantine Greek successor states, the Empire of Nicaea, the Empire of Trebizond and the Despotate of Epirus. Out of these three, the Nicaeans succeeded in displacing the Latin emperors in 1261 and restored the Byzantine Empire.BZ98881.
