This episode creates a very exciting build up to the big event - the siege and battles of Antioch, which we will see more of in a fortnight's time.

But...

If you can't wait until then for some epic clashes and action, you're in luck! The Crusaders have to get to Antioch first, and in doing so they will fight some more Turks, very briefly each other, and will finish with a bizarre Armenian adoption ceremony that leads to Baldwin of Boulogne being involved (or not...) in a plot that sees his adopted father thrown from the top of Edessa's citadel! (Though that wasn't part of the ceremony...) Friends will be made, some of those friends become enemies, and many of those end up getting killed in battle or tortured to death. If you want duplicitous politics, epic scenery and knights riding on cows, you have come to the right place.

Oh - and Godfrey de Bouillon nearly gets eaten by a bear...
