How did a disagreement over bread spark a religious and political divide that lasted for over 900 years? Hold on to your hats for an electrifying voyage back to the Great Schism of 1054, a pivotal moment in European history that saw the once united Christian Church splinter into the Western Roman Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox Churches. We'll unpack the religious doctrines, political tugs-of-war, and the personalities that fueled this dramatic split of a millennia-old institution. From exploring the power plays between the Pope and the Patriarch to understanding the significance of unleavened bread in Communion, this episode promises to shed light on an era marred by discord.
Brace yourselves as we venture into the heart of Byzantium, an empire known for its astonishing military might and intricate bureaucracy. Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the Byzantines, where citizens were taxed directly by the Emperor, the Varangians served as elite bodyguards, and bureaucrats drew a salary. Marvel at the stark contrast between this multi-layered system and the feudal arrangements of the West, where lords granted land to vassals in exchange for military service.
Finally, we guide you through the distrust sown between the Byzantines and the Crusaders, a relationship fraught with suspicion and tension. Hear the gripping tales of Emperor Alexios' attempts to recoup the Anatolian plateau, how the Crusaders' absence left a power vacuum and the devastating blow the Crusades dealt to the once invincible Byzantine Empire.
