This book will be essential reading for anyone studying Byzantine history in this period. It ranges in time from the death of the emperor Basil II in 1025 to the sacking of the city of Constantinople by the Fourth Crusaders in 1204, spanning the rise and fall of the successful Komnenos dynasty. Eleventh-century Byzantine history is unusual in that imperial women were able to wield immense power and in this ground-breaking book Dr Hill explores why this was possible and, equally, why they lost their position of influence a century later.

Why does this book have this cover? Why? Why why why why?

It’s been a while since I’ve succumbed to an impulse purchase, but I feel like I deserve an Age of Sail treat after surviving a week and a half without air conditioning.

i’m going to be really honest with you guys i think the tendency to read the absolute worst possible intentions into every action you don’t agree with is getting too automatic and it’s eating you from the inside out

How dare you say we wanna eat someone from the inside. Cannibalism is wrong
