The article is dedicated to the analysis of information from emperor's chrysobullos issued in 1189 and also of other sources on the history of German and French emboli in Constantinople. Created most likely in the time of the Second Crusade these quarters had different fate and significance. German quarter was a symbol of alliance betiveen Byzantium and the Holy Roman Empire. It's economical role wasn't considerable. Correspondence between the rulers of these states shows that German warriors in the service of the Byzantine Empire were the very object of attention from both sides, especially their need in their own church. This could be the church of S. Eirene at Perama. Close connections of the German merchants' close connections with Venice conditioned and facilitated transfer of embolus Alemannorum exactly to the Saint Marcus republic. Embolus Francigenarum probably established in the accordance with the French king practically served the trading interests of Occitanian merchantry that paid duties to Aragon, not France. Obviously the main role here was played by Montpellier. It's count even succeeded to conclude a dynastic alliance with the Comneni. It loas the break of this alliance that could cause the transfer of the embolus to Venice.
