Año 717. Al-Hurr, el nuevo gobernador de al-Ándalus, se dispone a aniquilar los últimos focos de resistencia del reino visigodo.

Fruela, hijo de Pedro, el duque de Cantabria, acude a la capital de al-Ándalus para garantizar la lealtad de su gente.

In the wake of the Roman Empire’s collapse, Italy found itself fractured. Among the Italians of the Middle Ages, the most famous - and controversial - man who sought to unify Italy was, somewhat fittingly, a Roman. Cola di Rienzo was a man whose life and actions have reverberated down the centuries, as his charismatic, yet unsuccessful dictatorship has spawned legends and comparisons with movements of later ages. His attempt to bring the greatness of Roman antiquity into the reality of the 14th century, the city’s lowest point, is inspiring on its face.
