| 6/20/26 | ![]() The Crusades and the Wars for the Middle East (with Prof. Nicholas Morton) | Send us Fan Mail In this episode Dr. Nicholas Morton returns to discuss his newest book, The Crusader Storm: A Global History of the Wars of the Middle East (Basic Books, 2026). With some rare exceptions, histories of the Crusades and the Crusader States have been viewed from a Western perspective. What is missing is the Middle Eastern context of the Crusades to the East, how the crusades and the establishment of these Latin states in the Levant interacted with and impacted the multiple rival... | 1h 00m 51s | ||||||

We discuss how the Investiture Controversy transformed the papacy and the Church; how the growth of papal governance and business along with its need for increased revenues made it a target for the same Church reformers who had formerly been its most fervent supporters; and how those developm... | 1h 12m 24s | ||||||
| 10/7/25 | ![]() "1066 and All That": The Significance of the Norman Conquest, Part 1 (with Dr. Jennifer Paxton) | Send us Fan Mail About eight months ago, Jenny and I released a couple of episodes dealing with the historical context of the Norman Conquest. I am delighted to have Jenny back to talk with me about the significance of the Norman Conquest and the Norman Settlement in English history. In this, the first of two episodes, Jenny and I look at the events following the Battle of Hastings and examine how the Norman Conquest has been interpreted over the centuries. I hope you will join us. ... | 1h 00m 59s | ||||||
| 9/28/25 | ![]() From Bishop of Rome to the Papal Monarchy: Pope Gregory VII and the Investiture Controversy | Send us Fan Mail The subject of today’s episode, the pontificate of Pope Gregory VII and the Investiture Controversy, is a staple of undergraduate medieval surveys. The first episode I posted after our summer hiatus was actually one that I wrote for a different podcast, “BEEF With Bridget Todd.” It told of the feud between Pope Boniface VIII and King Philip the Fair of France that culminated in that pope’s humiliation at the hands of agents of the king. The so-called Outrage of Anagni in 1302... | 1h 04m 56s | ||||||
| 9/23/25 | ![]() From Bishop of Rome to the Papal Monarchy: Pope Leo IX and the Gregorian Reform | Send us Fan Mail After a summer hiatus, we are finally back with a new episode, the third in our series on the medieval papacy, “From Bishop of Rome to the Papal Monarchy.” The previous covered the tenth-century nadir of the papacy, when it was dominated by powerful Roman families and used to enhance their power and control over the city and the papal states. In this episode, my favorite co-host Ellen Harrison Abels and I explain how the foundations of the papal monarchy were laid in the mid ... | 1h 14m 23s | ||||||
| 9/13/25 | ![]() Pope Boniface VIII vs King Philip the Fair: Catholicism's Medieval Meltdown (an episode from the podcast "BEEF with Bridget Todd") | Send us Fan Mail After a summer hiatus “’Tis But A Scratch: Fact & Fiction About the Middle Ages” is back—well, not actually quite yet. I am busily working on the final two episodes of our series on the medieval papacy, “From Bishop of Rome to the Papal Monarchy.” I should have episode three on the Gregorian Reform and the Investiture Controversy out in a week or so. But to tide you over, here is an episode on a related subject from a different podcast, “BEEF with Bridget Todd.” In ... | 58m 28s | ||||||
| 5/29/25 | ![]() Mysterious Medieval Manuscripts: Interview with Garry J. Shaw | Send us Fan Mail Now for something completely different from tracing the development of the papacy from bishop of Rome to the papal monarchy--but, don't worry, I will be completing that series soon. In this episode, I chat with author Garry J. Shaw about his fascinating new book from Yale University Press, Cryptic: From Voynich to the Angel Diaries, the Story of the World's Mysterious Manuscripts. The book tells the stories behind nine puzzling medieval and early Modern European texts. ... | 1h 10m 40s | ||||||
| 4/16/25 | ![]() The medieval papal conclave: starving cardinals into consensus | Send us Fan Mail I finally saw the movie "Conclave," and really enjoyed it. As you probably know, it is about the contentious election of a pope in a conclave of the college of cardinals. The movie, however, never explains what the word conclave actually means or how and why that papal electoral procedure began. This episode will remedy that omission. The intro music is from the Academy Award nominated overture to the movie "Conclave" by the composer Volker Bertelmann Listen on Podura... | 29m 38s | ||||||
| 4/9/25 | ![]() From Bishop of Rome to the Papal Monarchy, Part 2: The Early Middle Ages | Send us Fan Mail In this second episode of a three part series, my favorite cohost Ellen and I survey the development of the papacy from the eighth through the early eleventh century. Among the topics we discuss are who and what the Merovingian and Carolingian dynasties of Francia were; Pope Zacharias' legitimization of Pepin the Short's deposition of a puppet Merovingian king and his elevation to the throne; the "donation of Pepin" that created the papal states; the "Donation of Constantine,... | 1h 32m 21s | ||||||
| 3/26/25 | ![]() From Bishop of Rome to the Papal Monarchy: the early centuries | Send us Fan Mail In this first episode of a three part series, my favorite cohost Ellen and I survey the development of the papacy over its first seven centuries. I have to confess that along the way I got somewhat off topic talking about the Roman persecution of the Christians. But it is an interesting subject in itself and worth exploring, and as 31 of the first 32 popes are venerated as martyrs--some with more reason than others--it seems relevant to a discussion of the first centuries of ... | 1h 23m 28s | ||||||
| 2/26/25 | ![]() El Cid, From History to Legend | Send us Fan Mail In this episode I interview Professor Nora Berend of the University of Cambridge about her new book El Cid; The Life and Afterlife of a Medieval Mercenary (Pegasus Books, 2025). We discuss how the historical Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, a ruthless and ambitious mercenary who served both Christian and Muslim rulers in the violent and chaotic political world of late eleventh-century Iberia was transformed into the national hero of Francoist Spain and the hero of the 1961 movie starri... | 1h 03m 34s | ||||||
