The marriage offer from Jerusalem that cost his crusade decades

In this episode, we follow Adelaide del Vasto from her arrival in Sicily as a teenager to eleven years of regency and bilingual rule in Palermo. The episode traces how her ongoing signatures on state documents, suppression of rebellions, and a 1112 marriage proposal from Jerusalem set a chain of political decisions into motion - and asks what price her choices extracted from the crusading generations that followed.
