 | | By the summer of 1205, Kaloyan held everything on the western side of the straits of St. George except for Rodosto and Selymbria. |
 | | On January 31, 1206, Kaloyan's forces slaughtered 120 French knights near Rusium, and shortly thereafter took Arpos (called Naples or Napoli by the Crusaders) by force, killed and enslaved its inhabitants, and destroyed the city. |
 | | When the news of the fate of Arpos (Napoli) reached the city of Rodosto, the Venetians, and the Flemish and French soldiers that were guarding the city fled, and the remaining inhabitants surrendered to Kaloyan. |
