October 10 Cameo 77 - Sultan Bayezid II
It's time to shift our perspective. For so many previous episodes, the Ottomans have been a lurking threat, a subject of many, many failed attempts at crusades, and a constant reminder that Christendom was completely incapable of getting their act together. So why didn't the Ottoman Sultan, Bayezid II, take advantage of Western European disunity and triumphantly conquer the Christian kingdoms?

I mean, he'd like to, I'm sure. He just has to deal with these other borders first. And his family. And the religious establishment. And the popular preachers. And the soldiers. And his family, again. This is all starting to sound very familiar...

October 03 S1 052 - Pope Alexander VI - Part Four
Alexander is more and more under Cesare's thumb. Is his son making him do things that a pope should never even consider or is that Pope Julius stirring? Whichever it is, Cesare's very expensive hobby is emptying the papal treasury.
Last time we did Alexander he wasn't Tudorlicious. Will that all change this time around?

In this episode, after many promises, we actually meet Savonarola. Despite much provocation, Alexander's reaction to him is really quite surprising.

September 19 S1 052 - Pope Alexander VI - Part Two
Charles VIII invades Italy.....again. What will Alexander do? Stand up to him with the full weight of the Church behind him? Or will he cower in a fortress like a gibbering wreck?

September 12 S1 052 - Pope Alexander VI - Part One
Our first attempt at Alexander wasn't as in depth as we would now do, so I wanted to give him another go.
How did this man, whom many would have said was utterly unsuited to the religious life at all, become pope - apart from the obvious?
