SEASON 6: The Other Norman Conquest
EPISODE 120: Two Brothers, Two Paths
After the dust settles in Palermo, the Hauteville brothers begin to drift apart—quietly, without ceremony. History is rarely tidy. Just as most of Christendom barely blinked at the East-West Schism of 1054, the Hautevilles likely had no idea they were living through a turning point. No grand declarations, no dramatic exits—just the slow, inevitable pull of different destinies.
