Today is National Bee Day, and there is significant concern about the erosion of our bee population. In ancient Ireland, people took bees quite seriously, and drafted laws and rules about their care. So, why was this, and what did those laws look like?Joining Seán to discuss is Chris Doyle, Lecturer in Ancient and Medieval History, University of Galway.

À l'été 2025, une fois n'est pas coutume, l'histoire médiévale a fait les gros titres de la presse mondiale, avec la découverte d'une source concernant le suaire de Turin. Il faut dire que ce n'est pas un objet comme les autres : depuis des siècles, ce suaire de Turin est vénéré comme le linge même qui aurait vraiment enveloppé le corps du Christ après la Crucifixion. Des millions de fidèles ont ainsi afflué à Turin lors d'ostensions publiques, et ce alors même que le Suaire a été daté du Moyen Âge par le Carbone 14 et que l'Église a accepté cette datation. Si l'on se promène un peu sur internet, on est assez vite pris de vertige face à la controverse qui l'entoure, on peut vraiment lire tout et son contraire ! Le document mis en lumière en 2025, car parmi les milliers de reliques vénérées au Moyen Âge, il juge comme le cas de fraude le plus évident précisément celle que l'on vénère encore six siècles et demi plus tard : le suaire de Turin !Bonne écoute !⚔️ Ne loupez pas mon livre collectif Les Chevaliers dispo en précommande jusqu'au 15 mai seulement : https://fr.ulule.com/chevaliers-notabene➤ Pour en savoir plus, découvrez notre entretien avec Nicolas Sarzeaud : https://youtu.be/3NEBzIJ5mCg
What does The Green Knight reveal about masculinity, honor, fear, and the strange world of medieval storytelling?In this episode of Reckoning with Jason Herbert, historian and medievalist Matt Gabriele joins Jason for a deep dive into David Lowery's haunting adaptation of the Arthurian legend Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Together, they unpack the film's rich symbolism, eerie atmosphere, and surprisingly human portrayal of knighthood in the Middle Ages.From Dev Patel's unforgettable performance as Gawain to the mythology surrounding King Arthur, the conversation explores how medieval people understood honor, courage, religion, violence, and destiny. Jason and Matt discuss the real history behind Arthurian legends, the meaning of chivalry, the role of Christianity and folklore in medieval Europe, and why The Green Knight may be one of the most honest medieval films ever made.Along the way, they tackle medieval masculinity, race in the medieval world, storytelling traditions, and the enduring power of myth in modern culture. Plus: bourbon, bad decisions, Monty Python, and why every historian secretly wants to talk about talking foxes and giants.If you love medieval history, Arthurian lore, fantasy films, mythology, or thoughtful movie analysis, this episode is for you.Topics Include:The Green Knight explained King Arthur and the origins of Arthurian legend Medieval masculinity and chivalry Dev Patel as Gawain Religion and magic in the Middle Ages Medieval storytelling and folklore Race and diversity in medieval Europe Why The Green Knight feels so different from other medieval films The real meaning of honor and oathkeeping

Misha Glenny and guests discuss the woman who, as a child bride, became mother to the boy who would eventually become the first king in the Tudor dynasty. Lady Margaret Beaufort (c1443-1509) was twelve when she married Edmund Tudor, half his age, and gave birth to their son Henry when she was thirteen and Edmund was already dead from the plague. Margaret Beaufort made it her life's work to protect Henry during the Wars of the Roses, which had begun soon before his birth and, as many more obvious successors to the crown died or were killed in the wars, she pivoted to supporting Henry when he became the strongest contender against Richard III. She was to survive Richard III declaring her a traitor and went on to see Henry become Henry VII, the first Tudor king, and herself become the King's Mother. Outliving her son by a few months, she was then to help her grandson Henry VIII succeed and the Tudor dynasty continue.WithJoanna Laynesmith Visiting Research Fellow at the University of ReadingKatherine Lewis Honorary Professor of Medieval History at the University of Lincoln and Research Associate at the University of YorkAndDavid Grummitt Staff Tutor in History at the Open UniversityProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Nathen Amin, The House of Beaufort (Amberley Publishing, 2017)Rachel Delman, 'The Vowesses, the anchoresses, and the aldermen's wives: Lady Margaret Beaufort and the Devout Society of Late Medieval Stamford' (Urban History 49, 2022) David Grummitt, A Short History of the Wars of the Roses (revised edition, Bloomsbury Academic, 2025)Michael Hicks, The Wars of the Roses (Yale University Press, 2010)Lauren Johnson, Margaret Beaufort: Survivor, Rebel, Kingmaker (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2025)Michael K.

Nevena and John talk to Chris Doyle, Assistant Professor, Medieval History in the School of History and Philosophy at the University of Galway, about the mystery of the ‘second’ Saint Patrick. Chris Doyle is an Assistant Professor (Lecturer Above the Bar) in Medieval History in the School of History and Philosophy at the University of Galway. His interests are varied and include the cultural and social history and material culture of early medieval Ireland, Europe, North Africa and the Near East. https://theconversation.com/saint-patricks-day-and-the-mystery-of-the-second-patrick-277404 “Celebrated every year with swathes of green and pints of Guinness, Saint Patrick is the most famous of Ireland's trio of patron saints (the others are Brigid and Colm Cille, aka Columba). Saint Patrick's story is well known. Not just because of the annual global phenomenon his feast day has become, but also thanks to a considerable body of original written evidence. Chief among this are his personal writings – the Confession and Letter to the Soldiers of Coroticus. But there are also many others – annals, biographies, hymns, poems – written centuries after his lifetime”. “One of the earliest references to two Patricks is Saint Fiacc's Hymn on the Life of Patrick. It was written in the 5th or 6th century but survives in an 8th-century manuscript. Fiacc, a professional royal poet turned bishop, wrote: “When Patrick departed [died], he went to visit the other Patrick and together they ascended to Jesus Son of Mary.” The post Sat, 21st March, 2026: The Mystery of the Second, St. Patrick, Chris Doyle, Asst. Prof. Medieval History, School of History and Philosophy, Uni of Galway. appeared first on Saturday Magazine.
A theory that has been contentious for hundreds of years is that there were actually two Patricks, whose stories have been conjoined into the St Patrick we celebrate today....but what evidence is there for this? Dr Chris Doyle, Lecturer in Medieval History at the University of Galway, joined Sean Moncrieff on the show to discuss.

Send a textIn this episode of Generation X Paranormal: Shadows of Ireland, we explore the dark history and reported hauntings of King John's Castle in Limerick.Standing for over 800 years along the River Shannon, this medieval fortress has seen bloody sieges, political conflict, imprisonment, and death — events that many believe left a lasting paranormal imprint on the location.During our visit, paranormal researcher Chris Fleming led an intense EVP session inside the castle, and the responses captured raise fascinating questions about who — or what — might still remain within the ancient walls.We also examine:• The brutal history of King John's Castle • Documented paranormal reports from visitors and staff • The famous shadow figure captured walking across the battlements • Our own experiences investigating the siteCould the castle's violent past still echo through the present?Join us as we explore one of Ireland's most historically significant — and possibly haunted — locations.This October (1–9), we're joining Secret Ireland Tours for a haunted journey through Scotland, guided by renowned paranormal investigator Ryan O'Neill—seen on Haunted Scotland and Haunted Ireland, and Executive Director of Scottish Paranormal.From ancient locations to lingering folklore, this journey is about history, humanity, and the unexplained.

Nearly 30 anti-popes have risen across two millennia of Church history. In times of deepest confusion, even saints found themselves on opposing sides. St. Catherine of Siena confronted cardinals backing a false pope. St. Vincent Ferrer supported the wrong claimant during the Western Schism. St. Bernard of Clairvaux rallied kings against a rival. None remained silent.Dr. Ed Mazza joins to walk through these battles from his book Saints Versus Anti-Popes, drawing the line from medieval crises to the present. The question now is not whether a pope can be a bad man, history is full of them. The question is whether a pope can formally teach heresy while exercising his authority. No saint or major theologian ever taught that.The discussion moves through Marian apparitions at Akita, the warnings of Malachi Martin, and the possibility of apostasy "at the top." But the conclusion is not despair. The Church has survived anti-popes, schisms, and centuries of confusion. She will survive this.

In this episode, Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair speak with Andrew Willard Jones about how to live humanly within the empire of modernity. Andrew traces his journey, from a secular upbringing, to embracing the Catholic tradition and a deep commitment to family and community. An exceptional thinker among a new generation of Catholic theologians, he explores how modernity and its liberalisms have fundamentally reshaped our understanding of the world and what it means to be human. But this is no retreat into religious or academic abstraction. Andrew lives and works daily in a growing community embodying a shared Christian life—an “other kingdom” that echoes Augustine in our age of unravelling. This conversation reveals a cosmic dimension to everyday life: a way of living shaped by the love of God has the potential to transform all of society. It also raises urgent questions for churches, parishes, and Christian communities in this post-liberal moment. If what's at stake is humanity itself, then our response must be rooted in love and friendship, not power or control.Andrew Willard Jones is a political theologian whose work is primarily concerned with historical political theology and with the reconciliation of the post-modern with the pre-modern. He is currently Professor of History and Political Theory and Academic Dean at The College of St. Joseph the Worker in Ohio, a new college teaching students the Catholic intellectual tradition while training them in skilled and dignified labour. A founding editor of the journal New Polity, his writing is recognised as having broken new ground in Catholic political thought, and he lectures widely, in both academic and ecclesial contexts. The author of many books, Andrew holds a PhD in Medieval History from Saint Louis University with a focus on the Church of the High Middle Ages. He and his wife Sara are busy raising their eleven children in Steubenville, Ohio.LinksFor Andrew Willard Jones:https://www.collegeofstjoseph.com/academic-facultyhttps://newpolity.com/podcasts-hub/church-against-statehttps://newpolity.com/podcasts-hub/meet-andrew-willard-joneshttps://newpolity.com/blog?author=5bbdf5b7e4966bea2acb7deeBooks:The Church Against the State: On Subsidiarity and Sovereignty (New Polity, 2025)The Two Cities: A History of Christian Politics (Emmaus Road Publishing, 2021)Before Church and State: A Study of Social Order in the Sacramental Kingdom of St. Louis IX, (Emmaus Academic, 2017)Evidence of Things Unseen: An Introduction to Fundamental Theology (Emmaus Road, 2019)The Word Became Flesh: An Introduction to Christology (Emmaus Road, 2019)This Is My Body: An Introduction to Ecclesiology (Emmaus Road, 2019)Catholic Topical Index (Verbum, 2013)For Alan J Roxburgh:http://alanroxburgh.com/aboutFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/alan.roxburgh.127/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecommonsnetworkBooksForming Communities of Hope in the Great Unravelling: Leadership in a Changing World (with Roy Searle)Joining God in the Great UnravellingLeadership, God's Agency and DisruptionsJoining God, Remaking Church, Changing the World: The New Shape of the Church in Our TimeFor Jenny Sinclair:Substack: https://t4cg.substack.com/s/from-jenny-sinclairWebsite: https://togetherforthecommongood.co.uk/from-jenny-sinclairLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-sinclair-0589783b/Twitter: https://twitter.com/T4CGFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TogetherForTheCommonGoodUKInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/t4cg_insta/ Get full access to Leaving Egypt at leavingegyptpodcast.substack.com/subscribe

The crusade movement needed women: their money, their prayer support, their active participation, and their inspiration. Helen J. Nicholson's book Women and the Crusades (Oxford UP, 2023) surveys women's involvement in medieval crusading between the second half of the eleventh century, when Pope Gregory VII first proposed a penitential military expedition to help the Christians of the East, and 1570, when the last crusader state, Cyprus, was captured by the Ottoman Turks. It considers women's actions not only on crusade battlefields but also in recruiting crusaders, supporting crusades through patronage, propaganda, and prayer, and as both defenders and aggressors. It argues that medieval women were deeply involved in the crusades but the roles that they could play and how their contemporaries recorded their deeds were dictated by social convention and cultural expectations. Although its main focus is the women of Latin Christendom, it also looks at the impact of the crusades and crusaders on the Jews of western Europe and the Muslims of the Middle East, and compares relations between Latin Christians and Muslims with relations between Muslims and other Christian groups. Helen J. Nicholson is Professor of Medieval History at Cardiff University, UK. She has published extensively on the crusades, the military orders, and various related subjects, including a translation of a chronicle of the Third Crusade and an edition of the Templar trial proceedings in Britain and Ireland. She has just completed a history of Queen Sybil of Jerusalem (1186-1190). Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

The crusade movement needed women: their money, their prayer support, their active participation, and their inspiration. Helen J. Nicholson's book Women and the Crusades (Oxford UP, 2023) surveys women's involvement in medieval crusading between the second half of the eleventh century, when Pope Gregory VII first proposed a penitential military expedition to help the Christians of the East, and 1570, when the last crusader state, Cyprus, was captured by the Ottoman Turks. It considers women's actions not only on crusade battlefields but also in recruiting crusaders, supporting crusades through patronage, propaganda, and prayer, and as both defenders and aggressors. It argues that medieval women were deeply involved in the crusades but the roles that they could play and how their contemporaries recorded their deeds were dictated by social convention and cultural expectations. Although its main focus is the women of Latin Christendom, it also looks at the impact of the crusades and crusaders on the Jews of western Europe and the Muslims of the Middle East, and compares relations between Latin Christians and Muslims with relations between Muslims and other Christian groups. Helen J. Nicholson is Professor of Medieval History at Cardiff University, UK. She has published extensively on the crusades, the military orders, and various related subjects, including a translation of a chronicle of the Third Crusade and an edition of the Templar trial proceedings in Britain and Ireland. She has just completed a history of Queen Sybil of Jerusalem (1186-1190). Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

This week, Bertie Harrison-Broninski speaks with Professor Annette Kehnel, Chair of Medieval History at the University of Mannheim. Kehnel gives us a potted history of sustainability and argues that sustainable practices have existed throughout history, yet our modern collective memory is influenced by ideas of resource exploitation introduced in the 18th and 19th centuries. Annette Kehnel is currently a visiting fellow at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland. She is the author of The Green Ages: Sustainable Practices, winner of the 2021 NDR Book Prize. Its English translation by Geshe Ipsen has been shortlisted for the 2025 Schlegel-Tieck Prize.

This episode of Star Warsologies is all about maps! We talk with Jason Fry, who helped map the galaxy far, far away in The Essential Atlas. How do you map a galaxy? Storytellers get to add their own details in movies, books, comics, TV shows, and even board games, so it's a huge job and nearly impossible to keep it all straight. Jason shares what went into creating the lore for Star Wars: The Essential Atlas and how the book is literally a childhood dream come true. It turns out a lot of the mapping framework came from a video game mechanic! Show Notes: Follow Jason on BlueSky @jasoncfry and send any cartographic errors you find to essential.atlas@gmail.com Check out the official Galaxy Map on starwars.com!

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the anchoress and mystic who, in the late fourteenth century, wrote about her visions of Christ suffering, in a work since known as Revelations of Divine Love. She is probably the first named woman writer in English, even if questions about her name and life remain open. Her account is an exploration of the meaning of her visions and is vivid and bold, both in its imagery and theology. From her confined cell in a Norwich parish church, in a land beset with plague, she dealt with the nature of sin and with the feminine side of God, and shared the message she received that God is love and, famously, that all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well.

Picture this: It's the 1960s, your Welsh hometown is dying, and everyone's telling you to accept reality and move to London. Instead, you read about American libraries closing down and think, "You know what? Opportunity." So you buy crates of abandoned books, ship them to Wales, open a bookshop in an old fire station, purchase a medieval castle, and turn it into a 24-hour honor-system bookstore. Then, for your next trick, you declare your town an independent kingdom and crown yourself monarch. The media goes insane, tourism explodes, and suddenly your "joke" has spawned dozens of copycat book towns worldwide and an international literary festival that attracts more visitors than your entire town's population. Meet Richard Booth, the Oxford-educated madman who proved that sometimes the most ridiculous ideas are also the most brilliant. This is the story of Hay-on-Wye: the town that books built, the kingdom that never was but somehow still exists, and the beautiful audacity of believing that literature can literally save the world—one used paperback at a time.GET A BOOK ABOUT IT HERE: To support independent book shops use this link.Or to just use Amazon use this link.BECOME AN Elton Reads A Book A Week CONTRIBUTOR HERE:Elton Reads A Book A Week PatreonTips!SOCIAL MEDIA!

If you want early, ad-free, and sometimes expanded episodes, support at Patreon or Substack!) In this episode, I talk a little about the JoCo Cruise and how it reminded me of the importance of community and creativity. I forgot how good it felt to surrounding myself with fellow creatives. Then I talk to Natania Barron, a prolific fantasy author and medieval scholar of the Queens of Fate series. We delve into Natania's latest works and discuss the intersection of history and fantasy, the nuances of writing queer narratives, and the significance of food and fashion in storytelling.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss a story that circulated widely in the middle ages about a highly learned woman who lived in the ninth century, dressed as a man, travelled to Rome, and was elected Pope.Her papacy came to a dramatic end when it was revealed that she was a woman, a discovery that is said to have occurred when she gave birth in the street. The story became a popular cautionary tale directed at women who attempted to transgress traditional roles, and it famously blurred the boundary between fact and fiction. The story lives on as the subject of recent novels, plays and films.With:Katherine Lewis, Honorary Professor of Medieval History at the University of Lincoln and Research Associate at the University of YorkLaura Kalas, Senior Lecturer in Medieval English Literature at Swansea UniversityAnd Anthony Bale, Professor of Medieval & Renaissance English at the University of Cambridge and Fellow of Girton College.Producer: Eliane GlaserReading list:Alain Boureau (trans.

What a tale I have for you today! In 1518, a very peculiar form of madness fell over the people of the city of Strasbourg (modern day France) in the Holy Roman Empire. People started... dancing. A lot of people. As in hundreds. And out in public in full view of anyone who wanted to watch! And many of them only stopped when they died. They literally danced themselves to death. What happened and why??? For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com
