Episode Description

OUR CRUSADES SERIES IS HERE. 

They said we'd never do it. They said it couldn't happen. And they were almost right. 

Today, we set the stage for the massive undertaking of exploring the Crusades. We begin with an exploration of one of the three major characters in the Crusades, the Western European church.

We'll begin with a quick recap of the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 and blitz through a few hundred years up to the fateful call-to-arms made by Pope Urban II in 1095.

It's a doozy. But we're psyched to explore this with you guys.
