Özet:

 Organized by Pope Innocent III, the Fourth Crusade 1202-1204 deviated from its purpose as a result of various motives and ended with the capture of Constantinople Istanbul on April 13, 1204. This situation constituted one of the most interesting events of the Medieval period, and afterward the Latins sacked the capital of the ancient Byzantine Empire and established the Latin Empire of Constantinople, which would last for 57 years. Subsequently, the Second Bulgarian Empire under the leadership of Tsar Kaloyan became a cruel enemy of the Latins, who had taken action in both the East and West sides of the empire. The political and military relations between the Latin Empire of Constantinople and the Second Bulgarian Empire between 1204-1207 directly and indirectly resulted in significant developments in the political structure of the region. This study provides a concise discussion of the Fourth Crusade while referencing the establishment of the Latin Empire of Constantinople. The study additionally mentions how Westerners partitioned the former Byzantine lands and then examines the Latin Empire of Constantinoples political and military relations with the Second Bulgarian Empire as well as outcomes of these relations in the light of contemporary sources in terms of rival enemies in the region, interactions, and changing ideologies. In parallel with the examined sources, the diverse military and political policies are seen to have stood out in the Latins struggle with the Bulgarians. As a result of the new approaches developed by Emperor Henry of Flanders, the Latins gradually increased their power and eventually began to prevail over the Bulgarians.

 Dördüncü Haçlı Seferi 1202-1204 muhtelif sebeplerden dolayı amacından saparak 13 Nisan 1204te İstanbulun zaptıyla neticelenmiştir. Ortaçağın en ilginç hâdiselerinden birini teşkil eden bahsi geçen vakanın ardından kadim Bizans İmparatorluğunun başkenti Latinler tarafından istilâ edilmiş ve 57 yıl sürecek olan İstanbul Latin İmparatorluğu tesis edilmiştir. Müteâkiben imparatorluğun doğusunda ve batısında harekete geçen Latinlerin, batıdaki en büyük düşmanı ise Kaloyan liderliğinde II. Bulgar Krallığı olmuştur. Yeni kurulan İstanbul Latin İmparatorluğu ile II. Bulgar Krallığı arasında 1204- 1207 yıllarında vuku bulan siyasî ve askerî münasebetler doğrudan ve dolaylı olmak sûretiyle bölgede mühim siyasî gelişmelere yol açmıştır. Bu çalışmada İstanbulda Latin hâkimiyetinin başlamasına sebep olan Dördüncü Haçlı Seferi muhtasar bir şekilde ele alındıktan sonra Bizans başkentinde Latin İmparatorluğunun tesisi ve imparatorluk topraklarının Batılılar tarafından paylaşılmasına değinilmiştir. Ardından İstanbul Latin İmparatorluğunun, II. Bulgar Krallığıyla olan siyasî ve askerî ilişkileri, bu münasebetlerin bölgedeki rakip güçler açısından meydana getirdiği tesirler, etkileşimler ve değişen ideolojiler kaynakların verdiği bilgiler ışığında ele alınmıştır. İncelenen kaynaklar doğrultusunda Latinlerin, Bulgarlarla olan mücadelelerinde farklı askerî ve siyasî politikalar göze çarpmaktadır. Bilhassa İmparator I. Henrinin geliştirdiği yeni yaklaşımlar sonucunda Latinler tedricî bir şekilde gücünü artırmış ve nihayetinde Bulgarlar karşısında üstün gelmeye başlamıştır.
