Alexius' plan to distinguish Bogomils and Christians was brilliant, I really must say.

"I must say I have never seen an evil man who in all his deeds and words did not depart far from the path of right; whenever a man leaves the middle course, to whatever extreme he inclines he takes his stand far from virtue."
That's an assessment I don't share at all.

Also, she didn't lose one word about the fact that the Franks were at one point requested by the Byzantines.
