Manage episode 433695556 series 2812943

For only a dollar per month, you can hear multiple varying stories and storylines so far through the 11th century, including but not limited to the creation of the Kingdom of Poland, what’s happening on the Continent while Duke William is conquering England, and, currently, our series called “The Book of Alexios” detailing all those details of the monumental medieval emperor, Alexios Komnenos, that didn’t make it into the public podcast. Every dime donated will be put directly back into the show, so I hope you consider becoming a Patreon member!
