Gunther of Pairis

   Latin historian of the Fourth Crusade (q.v.). His Historia Constantinopolitana is biased against the Byzantines, and papers over the bloodshed of the sack of Constantinople (q.v.). Gunther glorifies the role of Martin, his abbot and chief informant, who threatened with death a Greek priest from the Monastery of the Pantokrator (q.v.) until he was shown a hoard of relics, which he took as booty back to France (q.v.).
