Third Bard's the Charm: A High Byzantine TL

Subbed! I really like your work, Eparkhos and I'm glad to see the POD where it is because it seems like not a lot of people do pod's in/around Basil II's reign (except that most famous of tl's Isaac's empire)
 
I'm going to try and nip the Schism in the bud, so the Investiture Controversy won't happen/won't be as big ITTL
This in itself has big consequences on Italy- what with lords remaining dominant over cities and the pope more like a big prince-bishopric, the kingdom of Italy might develop a lot more like Germany and burgundy.

Are Norman's still on their way? A Byzantine sponsored Norman katepanate of Sicily could be interesting?
