How did Normans from Western Europe reach as far as Antioch in what is now Turkey? What was their role in The First Crusade? Who was the Byzantine Alexios I Komnenos and how did he summon Normans to support his campaign? In the final episode of this series, Anita Anand and William Dalrymple are joined once again by Peter Frankopan, author of The First Crusade: The Call from the East, to discuss how Normans joined the first crusaders in the 1090s.
