This is a really superior episode as history.  Only a couple cringey bits, it is getting better.

Torture is wrong, only the sophisticated torture.  The future effects of the Black Death are different in England.  Instead of doubling down on serfdom, in England, it ends.  Also we get into church land confiscation with the destruction of the Knights Templar.  A brief look at the expulsion of the Jews in the 1290's (England not the Spanish version).  We look at the thought of Wycliff and the intellectual chain that leads to Hus and Martin Luther.  The most consequential chain of influence in history?
