Whilst I struggle to access the material I need in order research my historical stories I have found  some interesting texts that give us a small insight in to life in the Medieval times. This episode all centers around the Byzantine city of Constantinople and contains a siege, a sacking and another sack....of sorts. 

I hope you are safe and well.

Enjoy.
