In this series, we begin to see Inner Europe as a more defined society, interacting with entities as recognized entities, and with a shared Romano-German and Romano-Greek approach to relations. This will lead to the next chapter of development, and a new struggle for identity between public and private powers in the 11th century.

New episodes every Monday!
