112. At the Gates of the Crusades: The Rise and (not quite yet) Fall of the Byzantine Empire

January 27
1h 18m

Episode Description

Today we discuss the third major character of our series on the Crusades, the mighty Byzantine Empire. 

Well...once mighty, that is. 

For centuries, the Byzantines have been tied up in military skirmishes with foes such as the Persians, Franks, and Seljuk Turks. 

Join us as Tom leads the gang through the highs and lows in the story of the Eastern Christian empire as we continue marching towards the dawn of the Crusades.
