Vous l'entendez en début d'épisode, j'avais vraiment hâte de recevoir Paul Bertrand dans cet épisode du format hors-Série de Passion Médiévistes enregistré en public, à l'Université de Louvain-la-Neuve. Cet historien belge, professeur à l'Université catholique de Louvain, se consacre à l'étude des cultures graphiques et textuelles du Moyen Âge. Il est notamment l'auteur d'un ouvrage intitulé Forger le faux, publié en 2025, dans lequel il traite des “‘régimes de faux' et de tromperie, de forges et de forgeries [qui] révèlent un rapport au savoir et à l'écrit, ainsi qu'une conception du pouvoir.” Paul Bertrand insiste d'abord dans l'épisode sur la dimension évolutive et progressive de l'essor de l'écrit au Moyen Âge. Au sortir de l'Antiquité, période au cours de laquelle l'écrit tient une place fondamentale dans la société, l'utilisation de l'écrit est devenue de plus désuète. Malgré un vif regain d'intérêt sous Charlemagne, Paul Bertrand vous liste plusieurs raisons de ce déclin progressif. Au fil des siècles, l'écrit devient donc une discipline réservée aux clercs. Les religieux sont alors plus ou moins les seuls à encore écrire. Par ailleurs, comme le souligne Paul Bertrand, la qualité des écrits décline elle aussi à mesure que la pratique se raréfie. Même le latin perd en pureté. C'est au XIIème qu'une nouvelle révolution de l'écrit s'amorce. Elle se poursuit tout au long du XIIIème siècle avant finalement d'exploser à la fin du XIVème. Écoutez Paul Bertrand vous donner des chiffres concrets qui illustrent l'importance retrouvée des écrits sous de nombreuses formes. Il commente ensuite les raisons de cet élan progressif. ▪ Infos sur le podcast Créé et produit par Fanny Cohen Moreau depuis 2017.

Le 25 décembre de l'an 800, dans la basilique Saint Pierre de Rome, Charlemagne, fils de Pépin le Bref, reçoit précipitamment la couronne impériale des mains du pape Léon III. Ce geste audacieux va bouleverser l'équilibre du monde chrétien alors que les tensions entre pouvoir spirituel et pouvoir royal s'exacerbent.

What were our joyfully cool cosmic things of 2025? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome three members of The LIUniverse production team: Jon Barnes, our Editor and self-proclaimed “#1 LIUniverse Fan,” Stacey Severn, our Social Media Manager/Community Director, and physics student Eleanor Adams, the show's first intern. Unlike nearly every episode so far, this time, rather than limit ourselves to one joyfully cool cosmic thing, the team is going to each share their individual joyfully cool cosmic things of 2025. Chuck's saving his for later, so instead, we're just going to jump right into everyone's favorite “cosmic thing of the year”, starting with our co-host, Allen Liu. Allen picks the Vera C. Rubin Observatory and the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). Allen and Chuck, who is also on the Rubin's Science Advisory Committee and has been involved in the development of the Observatory for over a quarter century, discuss how truly amazing the images are in terms of detail and resolution. Allen shares that he's most excited to see images of transients like asteroids and gravitational lensing, since the Rubin will be taking images of the same areas twice with a gap of one week. Chuck talks about the citizen science aspect of the Rubin and encourages each of you in our audience to try and discover something on your own. We hear about some of Allen's published papers, including one on using VR for scientific research. The group talks about VR (including Beat Saber) and Jon shares his experience using VR technology to record his senior project at the Harold Ramis Film School at Second City, and the difficulty he had with the audio. For Eleanor, this year's cool cosmic thing was highly personal: her studies in modern physics this year, learning more than ever about what we don't know, like the gap between classical and quantum physics! As she puts it, “the matter-antimatter asymmetry…broke my mind.” She also shares a little inspiration from Cal Sagan's Cosmos. Stacey's cosmically cool thing of the year is relatively current: Comet C/2025 K1 ATLAS, which recently broke into 3 parts. The team compares this with the breakup of all breakups: Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, which broke up in 1994 on its way to a collision with Jupiter. Jon's joyfully cool cosmic year end thingamabob is about the new science fiction show Pluribus created by Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul), and he's got a question for Chuck. How long would it take a signal like the one in Pluribus to travel from a star 600 light years away, like Betelgeuse or Antares? Without dropping any spoilers, the team ponders why an alien race would have reached out to Earth based on what they might have seen around the time of Charlemagne, and whether being subsumed in a hive mind would be good or bad. This is a bittersweet episode, though, because we officially bid farewell to the show's long time editor, Jon Barnes, who is moving on to a gig as a full-time content creator for a meal prep company that will involve lots of Jon cooking and filming himself while he does. Finally, it's time to wrap up the episode with Chuck's Picture of the Year, which is related to the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, but not in a way you might expect. It's a photo of Vera Rubin when she was 10 years old. As Chuck puts it, “Who would have known that 25 years later, she would change our understanding of the cosmos itself?” Happy New Year from The LIUniverse crew!

Marcellinus and Peter died in the early 4th century, but the saints would still be active and on the move in the 9th. This is about their journey. It is also about Charlemagne's biographer, Einhard, the man who wrote about that journey and set it into motion.

Vanessa, on continue de découvrir nos villes sanctuaires. Ce matin, direction Chartres …La ville de la lumière : particulièrement en ce moment ! La magie de Noel opère avec des événements autour de sa cathédrale : Notre Dame de Chartres. Encore un sanctuaire marial. La vierge Marie y est présente 170 fois. Pourquoi ? En 876, le roi de France Charles II le Chauve offre à Chartres la Sancta Camisa, la Sainte chemise, qu'il détenait de son grand père Charlemagne. Marie l'aurait porté le jour de la naissance de Jésus. Lorsqu'on ouvre enfin le coffre qui la protège en 1712, on découvre que c'est en réalité un voile de soie. La relique portera désormais le nom de Voile de la Vierge, qui est à l'origine de nombreux pèlerinages. Mais la cathédrale abrite aussi un autre grand Trésor dans sa chapelle saint-Piat. 150 objets dédiés à la célébration et à l'ornement du service divin, dont certains servent encore aujourd'hui pour les grandes cérémonies comme une navette absolument incroyable : un coquillage ceint dans une monture d'orfèvrerie.Donc la visite de la cathédrale s'impose, doublement j'imagine pendant les fêtes ?Oui avec un mapping spécial fêtes dans le cadre de Chartres en lumières. Une création artistique spectaculaire pour cette cathédrale, qui a été la première à être classée, notamment pour ses vitraux. Le plus connu, Notre dame de la Belle Verrière pour son célèbre "Bleu de Chartres" très lumineux et mieux conservé que les autres couleurs. A base entre autres de Cobalt cuivre et fer. Autre découverte à faire au cœur de la Cathédrale : son labyrinthe qui a servi de modèle dans le reste du monde. Un pèlerinage intérieur pour méditer sur le passage de mort a la vie éternelle. Et puis pour aller encore plus loin dans l'histoire de la cathédrale et de Chartres, je vous recommande le spectacle immersif "Mille ans d'éclat" à l'Enclos de Loens. Vous êtes immergés au cœur de scènes vivantes, spectaculaires, tous vos sens sont mis en émois. Cerise sur le gâteau : le conteur est Stéphane Bern.Et où est-ce qu'on pose nos valises ?Au Maleyssie, à 2 pas du théâtre. Un nouveau lieu inédit : des suites d'hôtes, une brasserie et un bar feutré !

800 - 1099 - From Viking raids to Tang collapse, the ninth to eleventh centuries reshaped the medieval world. Charlemagne's empire fractured, Slavic states rose, caliphates splintered, and new powers emerged across Asia and the Americas. Join us as we explore upheaval, migration, and transformation — the age that set the stage for centuries to come. History in motion, revealed!

In this episode, we'll hear about one of the most chilling rulers of Byzantium – the empress Eirene. She was Byzantium's only empress to take on the reins of government in a sole capacity. Her reign is controversial because she took sole power only after she'd killed the reigning emperor by gouging out his eyes. And the emperor in question was her own son. Even by the shocking standards of the Dark Ages, this stands out as pretty extreme parenting. And yet despite that, today she is a saint in the Greek Orthodox church since she restored icon worship, overthrowing the iconoclasts we talked about in the last episode. For a free ebook, maps and blogs check out my website nickholmesauthor.comFind my latest book, Justinian's Empire, on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.

Medieval Europe was preoccupied with magic. From the Carolingian Empire to Renaissance Italy and Tudor England, great rulers, religious figures, and scholars sought to harness supernatural power. They tried to summon spirits, predict the future, and even prolong life. Alongside science and religion, magic lay at the very heart of culture. In this beautifully illustrated account The Magic Books: A History of Enchantment in 20 Medieval Manuscripts (Yale UP, 2025), Anne Lawrence-Mathers explores the medieval fascination with magic through twenty extraordinary illuminated manuscripts. These books were highly sought after, commissioned by kings and stored in great libraries. They include an astronomical compendium made for Charlemagne's son; The Sworn Book of Honorius, used by a secret society of trained magicians; and the highly influential Picatrix. This vivid new history shows how attitudes to magic and science changed over the medieval period—and produced great works of art as they did so. Anne Lawrence-Mathers is professor of history at University of Reading. She is the author of Medieval Meteorology and The True History of Merlin the Magician and coauthor of Magic and Medieval Society. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Episode: 1479 The riddle of more grandparents than people.  Today, you and I are kin.

En 778, dans les gorges de Roncevaux, l'arrière-garde de l'armée de Charlemagne tombe dans une embuscade dévastatrice lors de son retour d'Espagne. Roland, neveu de l'empereur, souffle désespérément dans son olifant pour appeler à l'aide. Si la "Chanson de Roland" du XIIe siècle a transformé cette défaite militaire en épopée, la réalité fut différente. Plongez dans le piège fatal qui s'est refermé sur Roland, figure emblématique de la chevalerie. Crédits : Lorànt Deutsch, Bruno Deltombe. Hébergé par Audiomeans.

World War II, the largest and deadliest conflict in human history, began on September 1, 1939, when Nazi Germany invaded Poland. Adolf Hitler dreamed of uniting Europe and establishing an empire that would rule the world for a thousand years. Yet he could have spared himself and his people immense suffering if he had only paid attention to an extraordinary prophecy written by the Bible prophet Daniel more than 2,500 years earlier. Sadly, Hitler rejected the Bible and its prophecies, convinced instead that his armies could conquer Europe and the world. In March 1941, he delivered a powerful speech to the German people, one that revealed his pride, his ambition, and his fatal disregard for divine warning. Declaring defiantly, Hitler said, “See, my people, we do not need anything from God! We do not ask anything from Him except that He may let us alone. We want to fight our own war, with our own guns, without God. We want to gain our victory without the help of God.”In this program, we'll take a closer look at King Nebuchadnezzar's dream found in Daniel 2, a prophecy that mapped out the course of world history, explains why European leaders such as Charlemagne, Charles V, Louis XIV, Napoleon, Kaiser Wilhelm II, and Hitler all failed to unite Europe, and reveals what is still to come in the future.

Rome began as a pagan, Latin-speaking city state in central Italy during the early Iron Age and ended as a Christian, Greek-speaking empire as the age of gunpowder dawned. Everything about it changed, except its Roman identity. This was due to a unique willingness among Romans to include new people as citizens, an openness to new ideas, and an unparalleled adaptability that enabled Romans to remake every aspect of their society in ways that made it stronger and more resilient. Romans, who believed that their city was originally settled by exiles and captives, found a balance between the embrace of new people and ideas and a conservative attachment to the core features that had traditionally defined Roman society. Roman history is a story of 80 generations of Romans who deftly challenged the rules governing their lives—and usually did so without overturning the institutions that made them safe and prosperous. In an age when people around the world are increasingly looking to charismatic leaders promising to scrap the rules governing modern states, Rome shows why states that want to endure should be repelled by the sudden, unpredictable jolts such characters provide. To explore this topic with us is today’s guest, Edward J. Watts, author of “The Romans: A 2000-Year History.” Rather than collapse, Watts shows how Rome endured, evolved, and redefined itself for two thousand years—from the Punic Wars to the Crusades, and from Augustus to Constantine to Charlemagne.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The final political legacy of the Roman Empire in western Europe was the Holy Roman Empire. Amazingly, this curious political institution lasted until Napoleon abolished it in 1806. In the eighteenth century, the French political philosopher Voltaire famously described it as neither Holy nor Roman nor an Empire. He may have been right in his own age, but it was originally born with the dream of restoring Charlemagne's empire, itself a restoration of the once mighty Roman Empire. It was a dream that would last a thousand years.For a free ebook, maps and blogs check out my website nickholmesauthor.comFind my latest book, Justinian's Empire, on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.

This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew returns to introduce the next film, "40 Acres." The film takes place in a post-apocalyptic world with food scarcity, as a Black family of Canadian farmers, descended from American Civil War migrants, they defend their homestead against cannibals trying to seize their resources. The random topic this week is all about the November 4th special elections that happened around the country. While it certain was a positive night, we discuss this but also what the real fight ahead looks like and why people like Charlemagne tha god's advice to Democrats is not only hypocritical but also deeply wrong.

Mes chers camarades, bien le bonjour ! Quelle est la pâtisserie préférée des archéologues et des historiens ? Le mille-feuille. Car les empires, dynasties et civilisations, c'est comme les mille-feuilles, mais sans la crème pâtissière. Sans pâte feuilletée non plus. Bon, en fait oubliez le mille-feuille ! N'empêche que quand on parle de “l'Empire de Charlemagne”, on s'imagine un bloc tout bien unifié. En réalité, les hommes en mouvement créent une histoire en mouvement : c'est couche après couche, à force de changements sociaux, d'influences extérieures et d'impulsions politiques que les empires naissent et périssent. Au bout du compte, ils sont aussi fragiles et éphémères que des îles flottantes. C'est comme ça que la conquête d'Alexandre le Grand, mêlée à des influences chinoises et indiennes, va donner un nouvel empire, qui lui-même va mourir au profit d'autres empires, comme les Sassanides de Perse et les Gupta d'Inde. Cet empire, c'est l'empire Kouchan. Ça rime avec flan, croissant, ou friand, et je commence à croire que j'aurais vraiment pas dû sauter le petit déj' avant de tourner cet épisode…Bonne écoute !

⛪ Blood and Papal Gold – Part One Presented by the Evio Creative Podcast Network Before the Vatican was marble and gold… before the Church had armies and crowns… there was Rome — a ruin with a heartbeat. In this first half of The Keys of Blood: The Assassination of Pope John VIII, we enter the smoke and silence of the ninth century — a time when popes ruled by letter instead of sword, when faith was a fragile currency, and when the empire that once conquered the world had been reduced to a city clinging to its own memory. ⚜️ Episode I: The Broken Empire Europe is in fragments. Charlemagne's heirs bicker over borders while Viking and Saracen raiders carve the continent apart. Into this chaos steps Pope John VIII, a scholar forced into kingship. His Rome is a relic surrounded by wolves, and his only weapon is diplomacy — or what's left of it. But when he dares to pay tribute to Saracen pirates to spare the city, his mercy is mistaken for weakness, and whispers of betrayal begin to echo through the marble halls of the Lateran. ⚓ Episode II: The Pope and the Pirates As the raiders tighten their grip, John is forced to choose between faith and survival. His decision to ransom Rome with gold saves lives but shatters his reputation. The Frankish kings mock him; the clergy call him coward; the nobles begin to conspire. When he crowns Charles the Bald as Holy Roman Emperor, hoping for salvation, the emperor dies within months — leaving the papacy more isolated than ever. Rome's enemies circle closer, and John's greatest fear becomes clear: the Church will not fall to pagans, but to its own believers.

In this episode, we trace how one global faith became divided between East and West — from the councils of Nicaea, Chalcedon, and Constantinople to the final break in 1054 — and discover what it means to return to the unified, Spirit-led Church Jesus originally envisioned.--The PursueGOD Truth podcast is the “easy button” for making disciples – whether you're looking for resources to lead a family devotional, a small group at church, or a one-on-one mentoring relationship.

The Vikings transformed European history, impacted the worlds of both Byzantium and the Abbasid Caliphate, and even, some 500 years before Christopher Columbus, discovered North America. In this episode, I want to look at how and why the Viking diaspora first began, before moving to their initial impact on the world outside Scandinavia, especially on the Carolingians and the establishment of the Viking-Frankish state of Normandy.For a free ebook, maps and blogs check out my website nickholmesauthor.comFind my latest book, Justinian's Empire, on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.

Charlemagne created the largest empire in western Europe since the Romans. But it didn't last. Within only a few decades of his death, it had broken up and one half of it was fighting for its survival against a new and terrifying enemy from the north: the Vikings.

Today I sit down with historian Edward J. Watts and talk about his latest book: The Romans.When we think of “ancient Romans” today, many picture the toga-clad figures of Cicero and Caesar, presiding over a republic, and then an empire, before seeing their world collapse at the hands of barbarians in the fifth century AD.  The Romans does away with this narrow vision by offering the first comprehensive account of ancient Rome over the course of two millennia. Prize-winning historian Edward J. Watts recounts the full sweep of Rome's epic past: the Punic Wars, the fall of the republic, the coming of Christianity, Alaric's sack of Rome, the rise of Islam, the Battle of Manzikert, and the onslaught of the Crusaders who would bring about the empire's end. Watts shows that the source of Rome's enduring strength was the diverse range of people who all called themselves Romans. This is the Rome of Augustus, Marcus Aurelius, and Constantine, but also Charlemagne, Justinian, and Manuel Comnenus—and countless other men and women who together made it the most resilient state the world has ever seen.  BUY THE BOOK HERESUPPORT WESTERN CIV

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Useless UN A sharp critique of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City, highlighting the traffic chaos and questioning why the UN remains in Manhattan instead of a less disruptive location. The hosts then pivot to Donald Trump’s bold remarks at the UN, where he dismissed climate change alarmism and called out global elites. The conversation shifts to the mainstream media’s fading obsession with climate change, referencing a recent New York Times piece asking why the issue has “vanished” from public discourse. Clay and Buck also tackle the Ukraine war fatigue, noting the disappearance of Ukraine flags and waning liberal enthusiasm for the conflict. Next, the hosts take aim at YouTube’s admission of COVID-era censorship, exposing how the platform silenced voices that ultimately proved correct on masking and pandemic policies. This leads to a broader discussion on Big Tech’s role in shaping narratives and stifling dissent. Kamala Catastrophe Kamala Harris’s new book tour for 107 Days and her disastrous past interview moments, including the infamous “not a thing I would have done differently” answer about the Biden administration. The hosts analyze why this response reinforced perceptions of Harris as unprepared and politically tone-deaf, and they debate what her future in the Democratic Party looks like heading into 2026. They Will Do It Again Big Tech censorship and free speech. Clay and Buck focus on explosive revelations that YouTube admitted to suppressing conservative voices at the request of the Biden administration during the COVID-19 pandemic. Clay shares firsthand experiences of demonetization and content removal for questioning mask mandates and vaccine policies—positions later validated by science. Buck underscores how these actions amounted to government-backed censorship, costing conservative media companies hundreds of millions of dollars and undermining open debate. The hosts criticize the Supreme Court’s failure to address this First Amendment violation, warning that these practices could return under future Democratic administrations. Additional segments highlight the contrast between the media’s outrage over Jimmy Kimmel’s brief suspension and its silence on systemic censorship by tech giants. Clay and Buck argue that while Kimmel missed four shows, countless conservative creators faced long-term suppression and financial harm. They also discuss algorithmic shadow-banning, the lingering effects of being placed on YouTube’s “naughty list,” and why online platforms now function as the modern public square. Shady Lady A deep look at the New Jersey governor’s race, where Democratic candidate Mikie Sherrill faces scrutiny over allegations of questionable stock trades. Clay and Buck break down reports that Sherrill’s net worth skyrocketed from a few million to roughly $12 million while serving in Congress, despite an annual salary of $174,000. They discuss her awkward response to Charlemagne tha God’s question about making $7 million in trades and explore the broader issue of insider trading in Congress, calling for mandatory blind trusts or index fund requirements to restore public trust.

From the kitchens of medieval Europe to the orchards of Anglo-Saxon England, the apple became far more than just a fruit. It was medicine, it was myth, it was ritual. In part two of our apple series, John and Patrick explore how crab apples were pressed into sharp, sour verjuice to season everything from pigs' feet to plague remedies, how Anglo-Saxon charms and midwinter wassailing blended Christianity with ancient fertility rites, and how monks carried apple cuttings—and their spiritual symbolism—across the continent. From the orchard-cemeteries of St. Gall to the fruit catalogues of Charlemagne, apples became embedded in the medieval imagination. And just as they took root in law codes, legends, and royal gardens, they also crept into the realm of story—appearing in myths of archers, kings, and poisoned fruit. Join John and Patrick as they uncover how the humble apple became a cornerstone of medieval life, belief, and lore…----------In Sponsorship with J&K Fresh.The customs broker who is your fruit and veggies' personal bodyguard.
