New events that would have involved directly Venice and Ponzio as well... The IV Crusade... Pope Innocenzo III promoted this war in 1201 AD. The trups were ordered to depart from Venice, the fact is that there were no money enough to pay the Venetian for the service given, so Dandolo decided to use these trups for his needs, preferring to conquer lands instead of moving to the Holy Land
