About this listen
In this episode, we look at 4 independent short stories, linked through a similar setting and time, that of the warband states of Eastern Central Europe in the changing times of the Investiture Controversy. All will face an interesting historical cycle, a fall and rebirth, which will result in a new place for the warriors of the realm in a greater and lesser military aristocracy.
