061: The Tables Have Turned
03/09/22 • 22 min
Today, we start with a quick check-in on the taifas in al-Andalus, but we quickly turn northward and see what’s happening in Christian Iberia. This will set the stage for an epic national hero to be born, raised, and come of age. Stick with it, folks. This season’s shaping up to be awesome! I hope you agree.

For only a few bucks per month, you can hear this fascinating tale of how a small group of Slavs transformed into the formidable Polish people who will one day direct European politics for over a century!
