SEASON 6: The Other Norman Conquest

EPISODE 117: A Ship Becalmed

The Hauteville brothers are back in action—well, sort of. Robert Guiscard wrestles with the Varangian Guard (yeah, those guys), while Roger watches the Muslim emirs of Sicily tear into each other. It’s a four-year sprint of shifting alliances, bloody reckonings, and one massive finale you won’t see coming.
