Hello Memory Medieval subscribers, I wanted to let you know two things. First, this next podcast episode is going to be late. I haven’t even done my taxes yet! And this next one, the capstone of the Richard the Lionheart series, is the most complicated one yet. So my apologies and please stay tuned! Secondly, Feigned Flight Magazine (which I instigated and am the creative director for) has just…

Ben of The Bazaar of War joins me to take a deep dive into the life and military career of Saladin. I really wanted to understand why he is regarded as such a great commander while his results in the third crusade, despite “winning”, seemed so subpar. Really, he was the perfect foil to Richard. For this episode, if you’d like to see the geography of the Holy Land and all of the places mentioned,…
