An episode on the Byzantine Reconquista - a period between the Early Muslim Expansions and the Rise of the Seljuks during which the Eastern Roman Empire managed to reconquer a number of regions under the rule of the Macedonian dynasty, as Nikephoros II Phokas, John I Tzimiskes and Basil II retook parts of the Balkans and the Middle East from the Slavs and the Arabs.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
