Who led the Fourth Crusade in the absence of kings
A group of northern French and Flemish barons, including Thibaut III of Chamagne, Louis of Blois, and Baldwin of Flanders
How did the absence of royal leadership impact the Fourth Crusade
It meant no national support, taxes, or royal fleets, weakening recruitment and funding
Why was recruitment inconsistent for the Fourth Crusade
Because it relied on the individual barons choosing to take the vow, and many simply declined

Thibaut estimated he needed over 50,000 livres to fund both his troops and mercenaries
Why did some barons ignore the call to crusade
Without royal pressure or leadership, participation was voluntary and many opted out
