Episode 310 - The Catalan Company

Andronikos roles the dice and hires the Catalan Grand Company to fight the Turks. Those who advised the Emperor not to hire them could never have imagined just how badly things would go. Meanwhile Latin forces continue to take Aegean islands for themselves.

Walking towards the abyss

Great job Andronicus. The newly rebuilt empire is completely on fire. I know what happened historically,but I kept hoping the Catalans would get their comeuppance.

[@christopherevans2445]

I guess the whole Catalan company fiasco was a desperate roll of the dice. A game played by Romans thousand of years. Bad roll

[@davidcirovic8620]

the 14th century surely is the worst for the roman state.

[@sotirismitzolis5171]

The podcast is becoming more and more depressing with every new episode, just like the Roman state's situation was year by year.

And yet I still keep hoping that things work out for Byzantium somehow...

Andronikos III and Manuel II will be a light in the dark.​@@tomweiss9600
