Today, the rise of the Almoravids and the rise (and fall) of Fernando’s Leon & Castile. I hope you enjoy the show!

Members-Only Series on Patreon:

Don’t forget to head over to Patreon, as well, to hear an entirely new series on the rise of Poland during the 10th and 11th centuries! For only a few bucks per month, you can hear this fascinating tale of how a small group of Slavs transformed into the formidable Polish people who will one day direct European politics for over a century! Every dime donated will be put directly back into the show, so I hope you consider becoming a Patreon member!
