Henry of Constantinople emerged as a valiant knight and skillful commander among the Latin crusaders, distinguished by a courage tempered with prudence and mildness that was unknown to his more impetuous brother. He proved himself ever the foremost in battle, whether on shipboard or on horseback, and demonstrated superior courage in opposing the pride and avarice of the clergy during a superstitious age. His leadership would eventually lead him to the imperial throne as Emperor Henry.
