===Crusades=== According to Burton, Pope Martin authorized a crusade against Africa in 1418 in relation to the [[#Position on slavery|slave trade]].<ref name=Burton-p197/> In addition to the Hussite Crusades, Martin declared a Crusade against the Ottoman Empire in 1420 in response to the rising pressure from the Ottoman Turks. In 1419β1420 Martin had diplomatic contacts with the Byzantine emperor [[Manuel II Palaiologos|Manuel II]], who was invoking a council in Constantinople. On 12 July 1420 the Pope conceded to attach an indulgence to anyone who would contribute to a crusade against the latter, which would be led by [[Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor|Sigismund]], King of the Romans.<ref name=MartinTrecc/>
