This is the opening episode of my podcast on the European Middle Ages. I'll explain what exactly we mean by the Middle Ages and why they're both relevant to us today but also different and alien. I hope that it will whet your appetite for more of my material on all things medieval. Want to talk about this episode? Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/ujcEcCtxE9<hr> Hosted on Acast.

Introduction

I love the Middle Ages. I'm a professor of medieval history, part time metalhead, and former Marine, and I think the Middle Ages are awesome. Chances are, if you're here, then you think so too. Whatever brought you here -- maybe you're fan of video games, novels, and role-playing games that hark back to medieval Europe, maybe you find medieval illuminations and stained glass to be heart-breakingly beautiful, or maybe you're just curious -- if you join me for a listen, I think you'll find that this stuff is amazing as well. Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/ujcEcCtxE9 Intro and outro music is the Dies Irae from Ildebrando Pizzetti's requiem mass performed by <a href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/The_Tudor_Consort/bio" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Tudor Consort</a>.
