SEASON 6: The Other Norman Conquest

Miniseries: Pope Gregory VII & Matilda of Canossa

EPISODE 122: The Holy Satan's First Year, Pt. 1

From Hildebrand to Gregory VII—what Peter Damian lovingly (or not-so-lovingly) dubbed “The Holy Satan”—our firebrand pope is about to dive headfirst into the chaos of reform, rebellion, and royal resistance. Matilda of Canossa, for better or worse, has picked her champion... and his first year won’t be a quiet one. This episode kicks off the storm.
