wrong with genocide as long as it doesn't happen to you. More historically plausible are the massacres by the Athenians in Milos, the Romans in Carthage, the Mongol invasions, the Crusades , the European wars of religion, and colonization of Americas, Africa, and Australia.

And then there's the Fourth Crusade , 1204, when the armies from mostly France sack, conquer Constantinople, and dismember the empire as much as they could. It didn't last that long.

Your writing and podcasts take us from the Vikings to the Normans to Crusades , to the collapse of the East Roman Empire, also known as the Byzantine Empire.

In the 7th century, Heraclius defeats Persia and then loses against the Arabs. There's the Arab conquest continuing in the 7th century. In the 8th the Arab siege of Constantinople fails.
