Episode 167: Duke Bonifacio of Canossa


Today, we begin unraveling the extraordinary story of Matilda of Canossa—one of the most powerful and complex women in medieval Europe. But before we get to the warrior-countess herself, we lay the foundation with her legendary father, Bonifacio of Canossa, a larger-than-life noble who ruled the heart of Italy like a man born in the wrong epic. This is where Matilda’s legacy begins, her origin story —among the castles, chaos, and clout of 11th-century Lombardy.
