from 2020-10-08T00:20:37

:: ::

On this week’s “F is for… Freakin Medieval History Baby” episode, we embark on a historical adventure examining the formation of the Mamluk Sultanate (1240-1277). We learn about the Ayyubids and Shajar Al-Durr, Aybak, Qutuz and Baibars. We also get a glimpse of the different political factions they interact with during this time; such as the Crusaders, the Mongols, the Abbasid Caliphate, and more. It is a true story filled with plot twists, betrayal, drama, and many epic military events that you may have heard of like the Seventh Crusade (1248), the sack of Baghdad (1258) and the Battle of Ayn Jalut (1260).

Then in our “Top of the Week” segment, we rank our favourite movies and tv shows that we have binged since lockdown.
