SEASON 6: The Other Norman Conquest
Miniseries: Pope Gregory VII & Matilda of Canossa
EPISODE 128: Some People Just Don't Know When to Go Away
Some people just don’t know when to quit—kingdoms, popes, emperors… and definitely kings named Henry. In this episode, we spotlight two historical heavyweights who refused to back down, even as the world shifted under their feet. One of them is a defiant Italian countess standing between a king and his pride. As we round out the 1070s, the stage is set for seismic change—and Matilda of Canossa is right at the center of it.
