With the new title comes a new religion as Tsar Boris attempts to transform Bulgaria into a Christian European power. But how will the devoutly pagan Boyars treat this change they've been fighting for decades? Then, in part 2 of the episode, we'll hear how saints Cyril and Methodius set the groundwork for an alphabet that will one day be used by hundreds of millions.
