  • 52 - Swarms of Mice
    Oct 28 2024

    Following the peace treaty signed with Emperor Alexios Komnenos, the Sultan of Rum Şahinşah begins marching back to Konya. But he does not make it far before being confronted by his half brother Mesud, who rides West with Danishmend support.

Eventually, Şahinşah returns from the East and faces off against Alexis Komnenos in the aging Emperor's final campaign. And the stage is set for the arrival of the next great Roman Sultan - Mesud I.

Great overview of the history of the Turkish people

This podcast provides an excellent overview of the history of the Turkish people. I’m particularly enjoying the chapters dealing with pre-Ottoman history, which is often not well known or covered.
