In this brutal deep-dive into medieval darkness, we leave the battlefield behind and shine a torch on the murders and massacres that happened off the field. These are the betrayals in cathedrals, assassinations at royal feasts, religious purges, political executions, and grisly “justice” carried out behind closed castle doors.

From the shocking murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket in his own cathedral to the York pogrom of 1190, from Scotland’s infamous Black Dinner to a royal execution by red-hot poker, this episode explores the blood-soaked stories of power, paranoia, and vengeance that shaped history—and still echo in our nightmares.

Also featuring:
☠️ The Massacre of the Latins in Constantinople
🔥 The St. Brice’s Day Massacre
🔪 The Pazzi Conspiracy

Because sometimes, in the Middle Ages, the real horror didn’t wear armor—it wore a crown, a robe… or nothing at all.

Closing us out is Amigo the Devil’s hauntingly furious cover of “Before He Cheats,” originally performed by Carrie Underwood.
Because if anyone knew about vengeance, it was medieval Europe.
