About this episode
The episode explores the impact of the Norman invasion of 1066 on the English Church and papal power.
In this first collaboration with Patrick Young of the Forgotten Christianity Substack, we looked at the Norman invasion of Anglo-Saxon England through a religious lens, asking how 1066 transformed not just a kingdom, but the English Church itself. Steve Guerra and Patrick Young explored papal power, the growing divide between East and West, and the older Christian world the Normans helped uproot. #HistoryOfThePapacy #ForgottenChristianity #ChurchHistory #NormanConquest #1066 #AngloSaxonEngland #MedievalHistory #ChristianHistory Subscribe to Forgotten Christianity on Substack: https://forgottenchristianity.substack.com/ Support the show: Patreon: http://patreon.com/historyofthepapacy Buy me a coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/historyofthepapacy Buy me a book: http://bit.ly/40ckJ8E https://www.youtube.com/@thehistoryofthepapacy Have questions, comments or feedback?
