Crusades O'Clock Episode 28 - The Foundation of the Sultanate of Rum

<p>Blast the Trumpets! Crusades O&#39;Clock Returns!</p><p><br></p><p>This is perhaps a bit of a throwback to an earlier period, but an important one! When thinking about the relaunch, I couldn&#39;t help but think that my major protagonist should be the medieval Middle East&#39;s great survivor, Kilij Arslan I of Rum. This episode is largely about his father, Suleiman, who is also pretty cool! </p><p><br></p><p>This episode ends in 1095, but don&#39;t be put off. It is a great story, and provides a lot of important background that makes the First Crusade and its context make a great deal more sense! I hope you enjoy it.</p><p><br></p><p>#crusades #turkey #kilijarslan</p>
