23.3 Las Navas de Tolosa 1212, Part 3, Medieval Spain, Rise of the Almohads

A podcast on European conflicts from the perspective of each side to provide an alternative to the traditional national narratives. Going chronologically from the Ancient Greeks onwards I will describe to some extent how each battle was won or lost by particular decisions, tactics, technology or fortune. But the aim of each main narrative will be to place each battle in the context of the overall history of Europe.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
