Hello /His/, back again with another Episode of the Three Komnenos. The 5th Episode will be the Finale, covering pretty much all the big important events of Manuel's rule, but I have decided I will be doing an extra episode of the Podcast Covering the structure, equipment and tactics of the Byzantine Army during the 12th century, as this will provide important context to the historical events and the Komnenian reconquests, as well as changes to the army from previous centuries.

"Manuel Komnenos comes to the throne in a moment of opportunity and crisis. The fall of Edessa sends shockwaves through Western Europe and now Crusaders are once again on the march through Byzantine territory, presenting new opportunities and challenges for the young Emperor. Across the Adriatic, the Norman kingdom is teetering on the brink after the death of Rodger II, with Revolts and invasion plaguing the weak William I. With chaos in Southern Italy, could the Romans after more then half a Millenia finally return to Rome? All this and more, on Episode 4 of the Three Komnenos: Born to the Purple."
