(00:47:07) Alchemy is totally vindicated
(01:04:39) Death by Trebuchet

folks, there's recently been a spate of Medieval news that is interesting enough to include in podcast form and so we decide to talk about it. admittedly, some of it is not the most glamorous but it all greatly informs our understanding of the Medieval world, also death by trebuchet. we cover 5 topics: Viking textile industry, 2 years of catastrophic flooding in Central Europe, England bending the knee to get the Bayeux Tapestry back, the total vindication of alchemy, and, well, death by trebuchet!

folks, we invited Logan Weimer onto the show to talk about patriarchal violence against Jane Boleyn but ended up talking about the fascist occupation of Minneapolis by the federal government. Logan, who is a resident of Minneapolis, gives us a firsthand account of the feeling on the streets, the horrors they've faced, and the way people have come together to protect each other. it's a lot but we thought it was important to provide this perspective on the issue. we will start the series on Medieval land management next week.

folks, some people might try to tell you that humans only started engaging in BDSM in the 1960s, like it's a very recent invention. but, we're here to tell you that's wrong as people have been engaging in such practices since before the advent of writing! so we go deep on the subject, talking about some ancient BDSM practices before talking about how it was done in the Middle Ages. we talk about Abelard and Heloise, Guibert of Nogent, Saints Sebastian and Martha, and more!]]> https://api.spreaker.com/episode/67180065 Wed, 30 Jul 2025 06:00:08 +0000 no 231 231 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/patreon-ep-unlocked-the-decameron-1--67079263 https://api.spreaker.com/episode/67079263 Wed, 23 Jul 2025 06:00:08 +0000 no 230 230 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/oops-all-cold-open--66988241 https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66988241 Wed, 16 Jul 2025 06:00:07 +0000 no 229 229 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/early-medieval-bohemia--66921043 https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66921043 Thu, 10 Jul 2025 06:00:08 +0000 no 228 228 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/july-mailbag--66760917 https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66760917 Wed, 02 Jul 2025 06:00:08 +0000 no 227 227 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/june-mailbag--66726695 https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66726695 Wed, 25 Jun 2025 07:00:08 +0000 no 226 226 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/welcome-to-the-crusades-the-first-crusade-ep-2-taranto--66583446 https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66583446 Tue, 17 Jun 2025 09:10:07 +0000 no 225 225 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/welcome-to-the-crusades-the-first-crusade-ep-1-rome--66583274 https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66583274 Tue, 17 Jun 2025 09:05:07 +0000 no 224 224 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-new-old-misconceptions--66496718 https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66496718 Wed, 11 Jun 2025 11:00:07 +0000 no 223 223 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/al-andalus-4-alhambra-and-everything-after--66411426 https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66411426 Fri, 06 Jun 2025 11:00:07 +0000 no 222 222 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/al-andalus-3-a-golden-age--66299787 https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66299787 Wed, 28 May 2025 11:00:08 +0000 no 221 221 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/an-andalus-2-the-real-battle-of-tours--66175682 https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66175682 Wed, 21 May 2025 12:00:07 +0000 no 220 220 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/al-andalus-1-total-umayyad-victory--66088765 https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66088765 Thu, 15 May 2025 12:00:09 +0000 no 219 219 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/may-questions--65998651 https://api.spreaker.com/episode/65998651 Thu, 08 May 2025 13:27:24 +0000 no 218 218 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/medieval-conclaves--65796692 https://api.spreaker.com/episode/65796692 Wed, 30 Apr 2025 12:00:08 +0000 no 217 217 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/april-questions--65669069

folks, we're back with part 2 of our series on the Norman Conquest and English Anarchy. last time, we introduced you to pre-Norman England and the Norman themselves as we worked our way up to 1066 CE. but now it's time for conquest! four claimants threw their names in the ring after Edward the Confessor's death in January 1066 and they would fight it out to see who would rule England. or at least they will fight it out but only after waiting for about nine months before making any offensive moves against the island. but once the party starts, England will be invaded by Norse and Danish Vikings, warriors from Orkney, perfidious Frenchmen, Bretons, and, of course, Normans. so join us as we watch William of Normandy become the Conqueror and find out why his conquest almost failed and he wasn't accepted even after his victory at the Battle of Hastings.]]> https://api.spreaker.com/episode/60718192 Wed, 17 Jul 2024 13:58:42 +0000 no 176 176 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/conquest-and-anarchy-1-before-the-normans--60652261 https://api.spreaker.com/episode/60652261 Wed, 10 Jul 2024 14:26:48 +0000 no 175 175 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/more-patron-mailbag-more-more--60582310

Luke and Eleanor close our their series on the Medieval Arthurian canon in style, covering the rest of the post-Galfridian era to the end of the Middle Ages. finally, at long last, we get the real connective tissue in place to link all these disparate stories and narratives together into a cohesive canon that can be understood to modern people. it's no longer just one-off stories about Arthur or his buddies but an interlaced narrative (reminiscent of Tolkien) that weaves everything together from Arthur's birth to his death. we start with the Vulgate and Post-Vulgate cycles, which are two collections of French short stories from the 13th century that begin to tie the tales and themes of the round table knights together. then we get to the last part of the Medieval canon: the Mort d'Arthur. this is the big reboot that ties everything together, adds some new characters and twists and sets up the Arthur that we will eventually know in the present day.]]> https://api.spreaker.com/episode/57560382 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 14:37:17 +0000 no 140 140 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/arthuriana-5-knights-and-round-tables--57482990

in our 4th installment in the Arthuriana series, we finally get to the work that truly defines Medieval Arthurian legend: Geoffrey of Monmouth's 1136 magnum opus, Historia Regum Britanniae aka The History of the Kings of Britain aka the Galfridian era of Arthur. we talk about the work itself, how it changes everything we know about Arthur, turned him into a historical figure for a few hundred years, erroneously portrayed him as a historical figure, and attempted to give the people of the Britain a founding myth of some kind that they could unite around. we also cover a bit of Geoffrey's other extant work, The Prophecies of Merlin. check it out!]]> https://api.spreaker.com/episode/57380481 Wed, 25 Oct 2023 13:53:00 +0000 no 138 138 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/arthuriana-3-pre-galfridian-stories--57306162 https://api.spreaker.com/episode/57306162 Thu, 19 Oct 2023 14:33:22 +0000 no 137 137 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/arthuriana-2-the-once-and-future-king--57195775 https://api.spreaker.com/episode/57195775 Wed, 11 Oct 2023 14:10:52 +0000 no 136 136 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/arthuriana-1-building-a-medieval-canon--57082866 https://api.spreaker.com/episode/57082866 Thu, 05 Oct 2023 11:47:14 +0000 no 135 135 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/how-often-do-you-think-about-the-roman-empire--56960795 https://api.spreaker.com/episode/56960795 Wed, 27 Sep 2023 14:52:14 +0000 no 134 134 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/fabliau-feat-kleio-pethainou--56868511

Update 2, 3/27/23: The issue has been resolved after an older recording was found. Thanks to our patron Adam for the assist

Update 1, 3/26/23: Please note that we recently discovered that this episode (Enclosing the Peasants) is actually a duplicate of the previous episode (The Peasantry). The files must have gotten swapped or wrongly uploaded by mistake at some point in the last 2 years. We apologize for this but it seems to be lost to time since the master files for early episodes were all lost during a hard drive crash in late 2021 and we didn't discover this until we had migrated the episodes to Spreaker. Hopefully we can scrounge up an old file somewhere but until then, sorry.]]> 773071ab-7925-4b23-b45f-2c3fbc3755f5 Wed, 12 May 2021 11:23:45 +0000 no 15 15 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-peasantry--52665588 632d0d70-4eed-45c4-ae6f-47578f7cd19a Thu, 06 May 2021 11:30:46 +0000 no 14 14 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/magna-carta--52665581 872c7adf-1bc9-4d57-ac6b-80f79c4577ea Thu, 29 Apr 2021 11:43:21 +0000 no 13 13 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/let-s-talk-about-sex-again--52665582 89c57f76-b694-4d86-8993-3dee0db8e8a6 Wed, 21 Apr 2021 11:23:08 +0000 no 12 12 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/let-s-talk-about-sex--52665604 43f09572-1c58-4559-9fd7-f769e27f8522 Wed, 14 Apr 2021 11:38:30 +0000 no 11 11 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-black-death-2--52665633 2d799f04-6234-4c5a-92ce-48670490e89c Wed, 07 Apr 2021 11:43:08 +0000 no 10 10 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-black-death-1--52665631 d582b02c-c4eb-4e87-bef1-c90298d2d5b6 Thu, 01 Apr 2021 13:20:22 +0000 no 9 9 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-crusades--52665578 cfc6c0be-74d5-4730-ad4a-26949110fa69 Wed, 24 Mar 2021 11:43:17 +0000 no 8 8 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/judaism-in-the-middle-ages--52665624 e2e6bdf4-b44c-4c82-b00b-60b01631c14b Thu, 18 Mar 2021 11:13:44 +0000 no 7 7 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-rise-of-islam--52665577 28446407-1bf8-4be4-b392-fc3674369a7c Thu, 11 Mar 2021 12:13:05 +0000 no 6 6 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-hegemony-of-the-catholic-church--52665635 619b67d3-bc06-4736-9081-bd99d33bdaff Wed, 03 Mar 2021 12:21:21 +0000 no 5 5 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/comparative-medieval-religion--52665603 d8a1fead-771d-4b35-b637-3f7aad1fafe1 Thu, 25 Feb 2021 12:13:03 +0000 no 4 4 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/life-was-cheap--52665616 a12cb9c5-53ea-4012-bcfa-228b10e3778a Fri, 19 Feb 2021 14:11:23 +0000 no 3 3 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/what-are-we-doing-here--52665593 e5cd9d9b-0869-455c-a204-aa6aad7ce907 Mon, 08 Feb 2021 20:48:49 +0000 no 2 2 https://www.spreaker.com/episode/introductions--52665579 64d13cb0-6dd7-481d-9b1b-809fcdc6ff0c Mon, 01 Feb 2021 16:15:18 +0000 no 1 1
