Hmmm is Eudokia planning something nefarious for Andronikos or are the Turks getting feisty again?  I shall go to FA to find out!

I have been enjoying the Rossweisse comic.  I have been reeeeaaaaallllyyyy thankful you have been uploading the Stosstrupp comics & then went to read the Rossweisse comic.  I have been doing some Viking reenacting & have been interested in reading more about the Byzantine empire so this has a double win going for it.  Well triple if you include the art. :)

There are some really neat podcasts out about its history.  I have enjoyed Lars Brownsworths podcast & bought a book he put out.  The problem is, I don't want to read about this time period to keep from spoiling the comic!

It has been a real shame that the west knows so little and/or doesn't bother to learn about the eastern Roman empire.  The mere fact that they existed allowed western civilization to survive & grow.  It was refugees from the fall of Constantinople that sparked or at least helped along the Renaissance.

The history of the Byzantine Empire is a real roller coaster ride of ups and downs.
