Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the Roman, Byzantine and Medieval history continues with an episode on the Byzantine Reconquista - a period between the Early Muslim Expansions and the Rise of the Seljuks during which the Eastern Roman Empire managed to reconquer a number of regions under the rule of the Macedonian dynasty, as Nikephoros II Phokas, John I Tzimiskes and Basil II retook parts of the Balkans and the Middle East from the Slavs and the Arabs.
