~The French and English made a new strategy to attack and win back the Holy Land
~This strategy was to attack the Saracens from an opposite direction by sailing across the Mediterranean Sea to Egypt and marching to the Holy Land from there and attacking them from the south.
~This strategy was not exactly followed. When they were getting ready to cross the Mediterranean Sea Alexius Comnenus asked them for help to gain back his throne (for Constantinople) and he would pay for the rest of the crusade if they did. When he got back his throne he did not have the money to repay them. So, they decided to attack the city in 1204, they were successful at sacking the city and stealing all the wealth and gold.
~The crusaders never made it to the Holy Land but they gained wealth and victory.
