SEASON 6: The Other Norman Conquest

Miniseries: Pope Gregory VII & Matilda of Canossa

EPISODE 124: Dictatus Papae

This podcast loves historical documents—and when one comes along that reshapes Europe, you bet we’re diving in. Pope Gregory VII’s pen is mightier than most armies, and the document at the center of this episode is about to ignite a firestorm in both Church and state. Buckle up—Europe’s balance of power is about to get flipped on its sanctified head.
