The intolerant Middle Ages, plus the tolerant Middle Ages? #podcast #medieval #history #crusades
tolerance & intolerance in the Middle Ages weren't like a light switch - just on/ off. instead, think of it like a faucet, whose levels varied and could change depending on context. listen to @eugene-smelyansky.bsky.social

Gotta say, I am desperately looking forward to a time that Eleanor Janega has a large enough fanbase for her scholarship that she can just go wild and publish on whatever the fuck she wants. Like, g-d yes PLEASE tell me about something I haven't already read 30 books on. P L E A S E. My crops are failing, and the rain they need is medieval Czech history
the children yearn for the Czech History @goingmedieval.bsky.social

I had so much fun recording this episode! But also it’s never a bad day to remind the world that Samuel Huntington and the people who use his theories do indeed suck.
