In this episode, we discuss the amazing life of Tancred after the Crusades, specifically his campaigns and rise to power as the ruler of Antioch after his uncle Bohemond left for Europe and never returned. Tancred became a legend himself, won amazing victories in the Middle East, and brought the kingdom of Antioch to its absolute height. We also discuss the deaths of Kilij Arslan, Robert of Normandy, and Stephen of Blois.
