​In this episode we look at the first two emperors of the Salina dynasty. What did these rulers of the German Roman Empire do that could have led to the disasters to come? Well, not much. Sorry. Spoilers?

A quick but very inconvenient romp through the Ottonian dynasty from Henry I to Henry II. Confused as to why they are called the Ottonians? You will have to listen to understand! Also reappearing for special cameos: Adelheid! Spoleto! Andrew! Thousands of dead people!

This episode is pretty much what it says on the tin. The most important thing to know going in is that you should probably not Google Scrofula before listening to the episode.

I have read it all at this point and it is very good.

Unfreedom in the middle ages took on a wide variety of forms. In this episode I talk about the ideological shifts that accompanied this change, some examples of the deals that were struck, and one highly amusing example of priestly fraud.
