Hwaet! Stories from Medieval Europe Michael Angerer
-
- Historia
Tune in to hear about some of the greatest stories from the European Middle Ages, from Old English epics to Welsh myths, French romance and Icelandic sagas. Stories in medieval Europe moved freely between countries and languages – and so will this podcast (which is why it's also available in French and German).
Each topic will be covered in three episodes: a historical introduction, a retelling of a medieval story, and an interview with a recognised academic. We've got you fully covered on the learning front, so sit back, relax, and let the stories happen.

A Heroic Age? Part 1: Introduction
Join me for the first episode of the medieval story podcast to hear about the heroic highlights of Beowulf, the Hildebrandslied, and the Song of Roland. In this introductory episode, you'll get to know the origin of the heroes and monsters we commonly associate with the early Middle Ages (or Lord of the Rings): early medieval epics in Old English, Old High German, and Old French.
