Gibbon says that the 'epistles' of Innocent III contain a blow-by-blow of the action of the entire battle. i don't think these are online, nor are they at my university library. if anyone can find this, this article could be expanded significantly. another account of the battle is contained in the book The Deeds of the Bishops of Halberstadt (1209) Rehpotsirhc 18:27, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Probably more useful would be the vast secondary literature on the Fourth Crusade. Check the sources section of the Fourth Crusade article. Innocent's letters would be useful, but all the other sources already use them (and they are in Latin, anyway). Adam Bishop 19:57, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the qualification of Hungarian king's joining the crusade as ironical, since he obviously didn't take part in the siege. It would be far more useful to add what the king reaction to the sacking was (if anyone knows, please?).
The Croato-Hungarian king was furious, but could not take any actio because of the inner problems of the kingdom!

Zara was not the name. It was Jadera. Zara was just Medieval Venetian exonym. Officially, the city became Zara not earlier than in 1408 when it was sold to Venice. Before that there was not any kind od Venetian administration in the city and all documents were about Jadera or sometimes Jadra because of pronounciation which was Zadèra. Zadar was never a part of Venetian Republic before 1408. It was attacked and conquered by the Venetians a few times for just short periods from 998 to 1408 but not to be attached to the Republic. These were Venetian military actions to secure safe passage for their ships since the Adriatic waterway stretched along the Dalmatian coast and was controlled by Dalmatian cities led by Zadar. Title "Siege of Zara" is an oxymoron, understandable only from Italian nazi revisionist point of view. Shame.85.114.52.106 (talk) 13:20, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You'll go far here mocking WP:CIVILITY by referring to Italians as "Nazis" (hopefully since then you've picked up a history book - or 11 or 12). 50.111.24.158 (talk) 22:47, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If the city had a Slavic population and "slav Croatian character" back then, as Marcus Tanner remarks in its Croatia: A History from the Middle Ages to the Present Day, then the article should be named in a way in which native residents called their own city, not in a way in which Venetians called it.

– Some sieges of this city are at Zara, others are at Zadar. This city seems to have been known by several names at different times and in different languages. Without a good reason to the contrary we should consistently use its modern name, which it is know by to most of its inhabitants. PatGallacher (talk) 18:20, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - the modern name is irrelevant to the naming of the historical events. SeeFall of Constantinople and Battle of Iconium (1190). The articles should be titled what the events are referred to in scholarly sources, which is presumably based upon what the cities were called at the time. Unless someone can demonstrate that either event is more commonly called "Siege of Zadar", I see no support for this move. Note that our article Zadar indicates that it became known as Zadar only in 1947; as such, I strongly oppose revising the historical name. ‡ Єl Cid of Valenciatalk 20:55, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. The modern name is pretty recent in English-language sources about the town and not commonly seen used in an historical context. There would be a case for renaming the first one Siege of Zara (1202) though. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:04, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose historical name. Majority of modern English-language scholarly works also use this name variant, see GB results. --Norden1990 (talk) 22:36, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, the event is notable under the historical name, which is correctly used by almost every other Wikipedia. Moonraker (talk) 23:31, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above.--Presbite (talk) 15:32, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
