SEASON 6: The Other Norman Conquest
EPISODE 138: Aftermath of Durazzo
Emperor Alexios I Komnenos is wounded, his army shattered, and the road to Constantinople lies wide open. The Battle of Durazzo didn’t just end in defeat—it exploded into chaos. In this episode, we follow Alexios in the desperate, bloody aftermath: wounded, hunted, and clinging to survival. Does the emperor escape? Or does the Norman tide finally sweep the East? The fate of the empire hangs by a thread—and it's fraying fast.
