Episode Details

In the introduction for series 10 of the show, we speak of the responses that societies will face due to the dramatic changes wrought in by the High Middle Ages. Among them, we single out the Great Schism as an introduction to the scene, and go over its short and long term reasons for occurring, as well as what a few of the many consequences would be for Inner Europe.
