Episode 401 - The battle of Lake Peipus

SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON: We visit the 13th century Northern Crusades and examine what happens when Alexander Nevsky and the Livonian Order go head-to-head for a battle on the ice. No, not like that—no pucks, no skates, and way more bog mud than could possibly be healthy.
