10/13/23 • 30 min
History says that the 1st Crusade ended after the Battle of Ascalon, but for all of the main characters in the saga, this was far from over. A political battle was forming over who would be the one to rule the Holy City, and the war between the Normans and the Roman Empire was about to reignite. This episode covers the events that happened in the first year after the capture of Jerusalem.
The History of Modern Greece Podcast covers the Greek people's events from the fall of Constantinople in 1453 to the Greek War of Independence in 1821-1832, through to the Greco-Turkish War from 1919 to 1922 to the present day.
