As we continue in our series on Pomerania, we'll take a look at Poland's relationship to the early Crusades and how these northern lands factor into that equation.
We'll also say a fond farewell to Gallus Anonymous, who has been with us from the beginning. Thanks for the good times Gallus.

Pomerania has been a land of mystery for much of the time that we've explored the history of Poland. No more! We start to pull the curtain back on this swampy land to the north. And in the process, we encounter Jerusalem. Yes, Jerusalem.
Farewell Zbigniew. Yes, in this episode we say goodbye to our old friend Zbigniew. But! Not before he undergoes some brutal treatment at the hands of his half-brother. Eastern European history is never boring!
