Episode Details

In this episode, we set up the context in which our next few series are to take place. The High Middle Ages will be a time of immense transformation for Inner Europe, a time where the world before and after would be almost unrecognizable. Still, it affected Inner Europe's many different societies in many different ways, and would present challenges as well as opportunities.
