2.18 Άνθρωποι τοῦ βᾰσῐλέως (Or in English, "The Emperor's Men")

The noble pilgrims have arrived in Constantinople and now, the Emperor of the Romans Alexios I Komnenos has asked them to swear the customary Latin oath. The only question is...what the heck does that mean??? As always, maps and sources available at https://my.captivate.fm/historyoftheoutremer.wordpress.com (historyoftheoutremer.wordpress.com) and new episodes every other week.
