Constantinople
Document 1 was the most credibal because it was just informative language, not opinion. It was written by rabbi Benjamin of Tudela. It seems like it is geared towards travelers visiting Constantinople. Document 2 was written by Robert of Clari. He was exaggerating Constantinople while trying to draw new people towards Constantinople. Document 3 was written by Nicetas Choniates. It Is biased while talking about the Latins destroying Constantinople. It seems to be written as a historical text. Document 4 is a drawing of a map of Constantinople. It is not credible while it is exaggerated and not to scale. It seems like a decoration for wealthy people, not as an actual map. Document 5 is a photo of a huge church. The size shows the importance of Constantinople. It could be shown to drawn people to Constantinople because of the religious influence. Document 6 is by George Acropolites. It is also very credible. It shows the importance of praying to emperor, not god. It is written as a historical text. Document 7 was written by Chrysobull. It is written about the helpfulness of the Venetians from the viewpoint of someone fro m Constantinople. It is an informative document to explain past events in Constantinople.
