  • The Battle of Constantinople in 1147 was a large-scale clash between the forces of the Byzantine Empire and the German crusaders of the Second Crusade, led by Conrad III of Germany, fought on the outskirts of the Byzantine capital, Constantinople. The Byzantine emperor Manuel I Komnenos was deeply concerned by the presence of a large and unruly army in the immediate vicinity of his capital and of the unfriendly attitude of its leaders. A similarly sized French crusader army was also approaching Constantinople, and the possibility of the two armies combining at the city was viewed with great alarm by Manuel. Following earlier armed clashes with the crusaders, and perceived insults from Conrad, Manuel arrayed some of his forces outside the walls of Constantinople. Part of the German army then attacked and was defeated; according to British historian Michael Angold, they suffered heavy losses. Following this defeat the crusaders agreed to be quickly ferried across the Bosporus to Asia Minor. Though limited in its strategic importance, the battle is significant in being a rare instance where Byzantine tactical dispositions are described in detail in the primary sources of the period. (en)
  • A Batalha de Constantinopla em 1147 foi um grande conflito entre as forças do Império Bizantino e os cruzados germânicos da Segunda Cruzada liderados por Conrado III, travada nos arredores da capital bizantina, Constantinopla. O imperador Manuel I (r. 1141–1180) estava muito preocupado com a presença de um grande e desgovernado exército nas imediações de sua capital e a atitude hostil de seus líderes. Um exército similarmente grande aproximava-se de Constantinopla, e a possibilidade dos dois exércitos convergirem na cidade foi visto com grande alarme por Manuel. Após combates armados iniciais com os cruzados, e insultos proferidos por Conrado, Manuel dispôs algumas de suas forças fora das muralhas. Parte do exército germânico então atacou e foi pesadamente derrotado. Após esse derrota, os cruzados rapidamente velejaram do Bósforo à Ásia Menor. (pt)
