***This is a newly released (former Anchor Bonus) episode from the beginning of March, 2022. ENJOY!!! This was formerly Episode 60. Sorry for the mess up in the order of episodes, folks. Shouldn't happen again!

Today, we gain context for our continuing story in Iberia.

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!
