Part one - Battle of Turaida (June 1, 1298)
<p>In <strong>1298</strong>, the Baltic Crusades became so politically tangled that the Christian city of <strong>Riga</strong> allied with the pagan <strong>Grand Duchy of Lithuania</strong> against the Christian <strong>Livonian Order</strong>.</p><p>Yes. You read that correctly.</p><p>In Part One of our Baked Battlefields episode on the <strong>Battle of Turaida</strong>, we break down the bitter rivalry between Riga and the Livonian Order, the struggle for control of medieval Livonia, and why the residents of one of the Baltic’s wealthiest trading cities decided their best option was to call in Lithuania.</p><p>This episode has crusading knights, angry merchants, destroyed castles, church politics, trade disputes, and an alliance that proves medieval people cared about political survival more than clean ideological categories.</p><p>The battle is coming.</p><p>But first, everybody has to completely lose their damn minds.</p><p>Precise history.<br>Imprecise sobriety.<br>The enemy of my enemy is my heavily armed pagan neighbor.</p>

Servius Tullius Triumphs Over the Etruscans (May 25, 567 BCE)
<p>On <strong>May 25, 567 BCE</strong>, Roman tradition says <strong>Servius Tullius</strong>, the sixth king of Rome, celebrated a triumph over the <strong>Etruscans</strong>.</p><p>But because this is early Roman history, the story comes wrapped in legend, propaganda, and some of the weirdest origin myths Rome ever produced. Before Rome was a republic, before it was an empire, it was a city-state trying to survive next to older, richer, scarier neighbors — and Servius’s victory over Etruscan enemies helped secure his rule and build the Roman memory of expansion.</p><p>In this episode of Baked Battlefields, we break down the war with the Etruscans, what we can actually know from sources like Livy, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, and the Fasti Triumphales, and why a Roman triumph was never just a parade — it was politics with horses.</p><p>Precise history.<br>Imprecise sobriety.<br>Rome’s origin story is paperwork and weird omens.</p>

The Massacre of Worms (May 18, 1096)
<p>In <strong>May 1096</strong>, before the First Crusade ever reached Jerusalem, crusading mobs turned on Jewish communities in the Rhineland.</p><p>In this episode of Baked Battlefields, we cover the <strong>Massacre of Worms</strong>, where around <strong>800 Jews were killed</strong> during one of the earliest and most devastating outbreaks of anti-Jewish violence connected to the First Crusade. The Jewish community of Worms was ancient, established, and protected in theory by local authorities — but when crusading zeal, debt, rumor, and antisemitism collided, protection collapsed.</p><p>We talk about the People’s Crusade, Count Emicho, the Rhineland massacres, medieval conspiracy thinking, and why the First Crusade brought catastrophe to Jewish communities in Europe before many crusaders ever got anywhere near the Holy Land.</p><p>Precise history.<br>Imprecise sobriety.<br>Mob violence is not strategy.</p>
