This is a whole episode about a book, a book called "De Arte Veneri cum Avibus" the Art of Hunting with Birds.

This is a story I was looking forward to telling for quite some time. It has everything – crossed wires, stubbornness and vitriol as well as diplomacy, cultural awareness and stunning success.

This week we take a look at the reign of Frederick II in Germany from 1212 to 1220.
