The original French title "La Prise de Constantinople par les croisés" is harsher, "The taking/capture of Constantinople by the Crusaders"

They should just trap Julian Baumgartner inside for a month, with nothing but water, food, and conservation-grade varnish and reversible pigments, and the whole place would look like new!

Not a drop of blood to be seen anywhere!

one should bear in mind, that Constantinople at that time was still Christian and most of the goods, that were ransacked, came to Venetia
