About this episode

Marco Cappelli interviews Bry Jensen about the Carolingian papacy and the Gregorian reform period.

In this episode (in English and available also in video format on YouTube and Spotify) I will be interviewing the great Bry from Pontifacts, one of my favourite podcasts. I have already interviewed Bry ages ago about the byzantine papacy and I felt it was only proper and just to do the same now that we have entered a new period of papal history: the Carolingian papacy (VIII-IX century). In this episode, you will find several hints of things to come, so that it will be a good intro to the new couple of centuries. On top, I will be briefly reviewing with Bry another period of papal history, the one where her podcast is currently in, and that fascinates me to no end: the Gregorian reform period of the XI century. I hope you enjoy the interview! --- Podcast di Bry e Fry (Pontifacts) su Spotify Pontifacts --- Tutti i link di "Storia d'Italia": sito, libri, guerre incivili, patreon, tipeee... ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/italiastoria⁠⁠⁠ --- Per comprare "Quando Venezia distrusse l'Impero romano": Amazon libro: ⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/4gR4tzG⁠⁠⁠ Amazon ebook: ⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/4hWFn36⁠⁠⁠ Altre opere letterarie: Per comprare "Ammiano": ⁠⁠⁠acquista fumetto⁠⁠⁠ Per comprare "Per un pugno di…
