It's 1095 and Pope Urban II is beginning to see the odds turn in his favor. At the Council of Piacenza, he will not only strike a huge blow against the German Emperor Henry IV and his antipope, Clement III, but a legation from the Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos, will provide Urban with an interesting opportunity.

EDIT! The original version of this episode stated that in 1095, Pope Urban II had fought tooth and nail for SEVENTEEN YEARS. Given he became Pope in 1088 and did not have access to the type of space travel which would cause time dilation to play a factor in his papacy...this is simply a case of me sucking at basic arithmetic. So, it's been edited and I've enrolled in my nearest kindergarten for a refresher.
