  Jul 8, 202647 minS9

  Donate: Buy Me A Coffee ! SEASON 9 : ARCHITECTS OF STABILITY EPISODE 213: A Very Curthose Thing to Do The First Crusade is over, but its reverberations are only beginning to be felt. As the 11th century comes to a close, we follow Robert Curthose on his long journey home and discover how the road back from Jerusalem changed the future of England forever. This is the story of how one century ends, another begins, and how history can pivot on something as simple...and as tragic...as taking too long to come home.
