Frederick Coniartis and the Crusades

Coniartis was promoted to be governor of Philippopolis in the central Balkans, which would be the Germans next stop. The emperor had worked hard to maintain the discipline of his army and stop them from raiding the countryside. But Isaac had failed to provide any money or markets for his men, and their supplies had run out. So Frederick had no choice at this point but to cut them loose. He didn't strip the city of provisions though, meaning at least the Latins had something to eat when they arrived - not that it did much to improve Barbarossa's mood.
