In this episode, thanks to the release of Assassin\'s Creed: The Golden City by Jaleigh Johnson, we explore the fascinating world of the Varangian Guard, an elite group of Scandinavian and Eastern European warriors who served as bodyguards for the Byzantine emperors from the 10th to the 14th centuries. We dive into the history of the Varangian Guard and their significant impact on the Byzantine Empire, as well as the cultural exchange between the Byzantine Empire and the Scandinavian world.
