SEASON 6: The Other Norman Conquest

Miniseries: The Book of Alexios: Chapter 6 (will published at a later date)

EPISODE 132: April 4, 1081

This is the moment everything changes. In this episode, young Alexios Komnenos storms the gates of Constantinople—not as a defender, but as a contender. With allies at his back and betrayal in the air, he makes his play for the purple. The empire is bleeding, the people are restless, and the crown of Eastern Rome is up for grabs. Spoiler: Alexios isn’t asking for it. He’s taking it.
