Wittenberg to Westphalia episodes:

September 05, 2016 Episode 21.5: Western Frankish Minisode
In this week's episode I struggle to see how much French history I can cram into twenty minutes. The answer is about a hundred years as it happens. Rejected ideas for today's episode included naming all the French kings with only one breath, and doing the episode while suspended over a tank full of rabid David Irving fans while local teens threw tennis balls at a target.

April 20, 2016 Episode 18: Death and Collapses
In today's episode the Guideschi's view expands beyond local concerns as they increasingly become embroiled in Imperial politics. They have a lover spat with the pope, but he may have just been stressed because he was pretty sure that there was a Saracen under the couch and Charles the Bald wouldn't come and look. A whole lot of teenagers die conveniently.

This is a big moment, but we aren’t done yet so let’s save the fine words and trembling lips until this whole thing is in the rear-view mirror. This episode focuses on Central Europe, an area core to our series and with a surprising amount of controversy surrounding its early medieval period.
