202: Routes & Ruptures

from Fortune's Wheel: A Podcast History of Our Medieval Story Hosted by Jonathon LaRosa

SEASON 8: The First Crusade EPISODE 202: Routes & Ruptures Steel meets panic at Dorylaeum in 1097, where the Crusade nearly collapses before clawing its way back from annihilation. From that chaos, Tancred and Baldwin peel off and barrel into Cilicia, turning the march southeast into a ruthless side-quest of ambition, betrayal, and opportunistic warfare. This episode follows the moment the holy army stops pretending it’s unified and starts revealing the knives behind the vows. No More Paywalls! How?
