The Three Komnenoi Episode 1: Back from the Brink

One minor correction, When I say that Jesus ascended into heaven in Jerusalem, I was referring to the general area of the Levant and I apologize for this Oversight. The background noise is due to this being recorded during the school year, and its students yelling and slamming doors. I also apologize for the great delay, my editor friend was quite busy and did not have the time to edit this episode until recently. However, I have long since finished the scripts for the episodes and I assure all of you that this podcast will be finished very soon! :D.

The Three Komnenoi Episode 2: Deus Lo Vult

In this episode, Alexios Komnenos has died, and his son John II ascends to the purple seemingly unchallenged. However, even as he sets out on campaign beyond the frontier, he will soon find that the most dangerous threats to his rule are not from without, but from within...........
