Chaste, Cunning or Canonised? Medieval Women With Gemma Hollman


Listen Later

In this episode, Historian and author Gemma Hollman peels back the veil on the lives of medieval women- from the crowned Queens wielding influence in turbulent courts, to the solitary anchoresses bricked into walls in pursuit of divine communion, and the women who walked the liminal path between healer and heretic: the so-called witches. Join Alix Chidley-Uttley & Amy Boucher with guest Gemma Hollman as they explore how these women shape- and were shaped by their world, reclaiming voices too often silenced or sensationalised. Expect folklore, faith, power, and the strange beauty of lives lived on the edge of history.
