Stephen Fry's 7 Deady Sins - I will take each one of the Seven Sins in turn, lay them out on the surgical table and poke, prod, pry and provoke in an attempt to try to anatomise and understand them; I hope and believe it will be, if nothing else, delicious fun and something of a change from the usual run of podcastery.

129: Bryennios's Rebellion

Content provided by Jonathon LaRosa. All podcast content including episodes, graphics, and podcast descriptions are uploaded and provided directly by Jonathon LaRosa or their podcast platform partner. If you believe someone is using your copyrighted work without your permission, you can follow the process outlined here https://player.fm/legal.
NOTE: This episode will also serve as Patreon Supporting Listeners Episode 21 (entitled "The Book of Alexios: Chapter 2: Bryennios's Rebellion"), helping to bridge the public series and the Patreon Supporting Listeners series.
On this episode, we see Nikephoros III Botanieates make his first moves as emperor in the wake of the devastating Bread Riots of 1078, as well as his response to the first coup (yes, first coup) against his brief reign, a coup that his most trusted general, young Alexios Komnenos, would be called upon to put down swiftly and decisively. If he thought Roussel de Balliol was a formidable enemy, then Alexios was in for a very rude awakening.
