I don't really understand how what Arnulf did was considered treason? If anything he did as he was empowered to do (lead the colony to success as he wished) and the colonists disobeyed and fled which seems more grounds to treason than what he did, especially since there's no way Berengar would be merciful to those who disobeyed his orders... It's just a bit unnerving how off the rails Berengar has gone about "German superiority" versus when he was more about protecting what was his...
On a completely different topic, whatever happened to the Byzantine plotline? I thought the idea is to have his son gloriously retake the Byzantine lands back from the crusaders so he could have a legend and have an easier time of claiming the Byzantine throne? With the Papacy and Crusaders gone, who is stopping the Byzantines from reclaiming the Levant?
