CW: Mentions of SA, self-mutilation, and removing teeth from a corpse

This week AJ Langley speaks to Lydia Walker (@LydiaMWalker) about Marie of Oignies (c. 1177-1213), a devout religious woman whose dedication to God earned her two hagiographers, Jacques de Vitry and Thomas of Cantimpré. We talk about the difference between the life she led and the priorities of her hagiographers, the discussion of "crusades" in her work, her vita as an exempla, and the bodily autonomy of (prospective) saints.
