Crusade Report: Croatia, 1190 AD
Men say that the battle at Hungary forced the Crusaders to try and deal with the situation here, even though they still needed to pass through Byzantine Lines and then engage the Turks before they could reach the Holy Land. So they had to talk to the Croatian King at his main castle. But this Croatian King was not well loved by his subjects and this was the Crusaders' problem. They had spent far too long here, yet they could not proceed to Byzantium without supplies, and the only place they could get it was from Croatia and its King. This King needed to have his coronation done, but the only place he could be crowned is in the cathedral to the south, but that meant the King would need escorted. Richard, Henri and Kadoc drew up a plan on how to protect the King and escort him to the cathedral. Once the plan was agreed upon by the soon-to-be King of Croatia agreed on the plan, and after wine was distrupted around the guests, supplies were purchased by the Crusaders. Henri had been force to leave half way through the meeting, so left Richard in charge, and Richard, using the French money looted from the Hungarian village, purchased 10 tonnes of supplies while Kadoc of the Hospitallers purchased 4 tonnes. With these extra supplies, and with guaranteed support from Sybilla and her famed Knights of Jerusalem, the Crusaders prepared for the battle ahead.
To protect a king.

Crusade Report:
The meeting of the 3 crusader nations met with the Emperor of the Byzantine empire in Constantinople. It was agreed that the 3 nations will aid the Emperor in taking down his enemy in Cyprus. The Emperors chief merchant adviser guided him along with each sale of arms, food and ships. Each nation payed 3000 gold to secure their supplies and the merchant adviser lent 1000 gold to King Richard for the Cyprus wine.

Crusade Report: Constantinople, 1191 AD
The glory of the Byzantium Empire should never be questioned. Richard never did, and never thought of doing so. The Crusaders approched by sea, this time armed, battered, exhausted and divided: totally. The fact of the matter was that campaigns in Hungary and Croatia had left the relationship between the three leaders at almost breaking point. The King of England, Richard The Lionheart, was accompanied by Queen Berengaria, his wife, Joanna, his sister, Sybilla, the Queen of Jerusalem, as well as Bishops Philip and Hubert and Sir William of Cornwall. The French lord, Henri, had two of his allies accompanying him while Kadoc went alone. They landed in good time, and Richard with Berengaria alongside him, led the Angevins first up to the citadel of the Emperor, his home and court. Richard knelt down before the Emperor Isaac II Angelos, before introducing both his wife and his sister to him. The Emperor guided Richard and the two ladies into the court room, and they were the first ones in there, followed by the rest of the Crusader alliance. Then the discussions began. Isaac seemed to prefer talking to Richard rather then Kadoc and Henri, even though Isaac misunderstood the picture that for the good of the Crusade, Henri was the leader of the Crusade. Isaac was generous with the Crusaders, although the deal was that Richard and Henri would lead an assault on Cyprus and capture or kill Isaac II Komnenus, the tyrant in Cyprus.
Isaac showed Richard, Henri and Kadoc what the Byzantines would offer in support for ordering an attack on Cyprus, and all three were most impressed. While Kadoc had a private word with Henri, Richard finalised agreement, before having a private word with Isaac in a tavern, where Richard and Isaac, as well as having humourous talk, had a word about what was the plan to get to Cyprus. Isaac also lent Richard a Greek-firethrowing ship to act as his flagship, providing he bring it back and that nobody copied its wonderful design. Also, Richard had a private word with a merchant advisor, who lent 1000 florins to Richard in return that Richard gave him the wine of Cyprus. The King promised to him that Cyprus would be conquered, no matter what. The final part of the meeting was in the gardens, where each of the 3 Crusader leaders supplies 3000 gold to him in return for a rearment of the Crusader forces, new supplies and the fleet. It was also agreed that the castle of Nicossia would be granted to Richard but would act as a Crusader base of operations until the city of Jaffa was taken. So the Crusaders prepared.
To invade Cyprus.
