SEASON 6: The Other Norman Conquest

EPISODE 126: Meanwhile...In the Mezzogiorno

While Gregory VII was busy fanning the flames of war up north, the Southern Normans were causing their own brand of chaos in Italy and Sicily. This episode takes a breather from the pope-vs-king drama to check in on the ever-scheming Hautevilles—because you just know they couldn’t sit still while Europe burned. Don’t worry, we’ll be back to the papal throwdown soon enough.
