For this very exciting episode, we are diving into my medieval hero - Abbot Suger of St-Denis. Listen to discover how Suger was able to bolster the prominence of his abbey whilst shaping ideas of Frankish feudalism, the nation-state, and Capetian kingship.  If you enjoyed this episode and want to learn more, then be sure to read the following:
