Battle of Constantinople (1147)
[edit]- ... that the Byzantine emperor Manuel I deliberately provoked the German contingent of the Second Crusade into fighting a battle in order to make them leave the vicinity of his capital?

Good to go. New article created 30 June, size is fine, sources look pretty decent, citation style is fine, prose is well-written, images used are PD, hook is pretty interesting/unusual (off-line source accepted in good faith). Not a self-nomination so no QPQ necessary. I think the hook could be shortened a little to "…in order to make them leave his capital?", but it's not a huge issue.
