SEASON 6: The Other Norman Conquest
EPISODE 118: Siege of Bari
The Siege of Bari begins...and ends. But don’t be fooled—this isn’t some tidy wrap-up. It’s got imperial schemes, naval brawls, double-crosses, and enough medieval trash-talk to fill a saga. In the end, Robert Guiscard does what Robert Guiscard does: win, outmaneuver, and finally tame the thorn in his southern Italian side once and for all.
