This is the final episode of the Alexiad mini-series, where we see the last years of Alexios and his battle against the heretics who have infiltrated the Western provinces of his empire.  With the help of his brother Isaac, they were able to weed out the bishop of the Dualist Sect of Bogomils. We also get to see the very detailed death described by Anna Komnene.

The History of Modern Greece Podcast covers the Greek people's events from the fall of Constantinople in 1453 to the Greek War of Independence in 1821-1832, through to the Greco-Turkish War from 1919 to 1922 to the present day.
