EPISODE: 129: Bryennios's Rebellion

The throne may be gold, but it’s sitting on a powder keg. In this episode, Nikephoros III Botaneiates makes his debut as emperor, dealing with the fallout of the 1078 Bread Riots and facing down his first of many coups. Spoiler alert: it won’t be his last. Enter young Alexios Komnenos—loyal, lethal, and about to find out that putting down rebellion in Byzantium is like playing chess with a lit torch. If Roussel de Bailleul was tough, this next round’s going to leave a mark.
