    The Trials of The Knights Templar

    This episode discusses the history of the Knights Templar and their fall from grace at the hands of French monarch powers. I am not a fan of the Crusades so this will not be a pro Crusader episode. Full warning with this episode: there is mention of homophobia, antisemitism and the horrid history of white supremacy.

    The Life and Legacy of Christine de Pizan

    In this episode I discuss Christine de Pizan's life and the legacy she left behind. Christine was the first known paid woman writer of the high middle ages. Italian by birth but raised in the French court, Christine had access to Greek Classics and texts from famous Philosophers. Christine wrote about heroines and expressed the importance of gender equality. She was an advocate for the education of women and challenged misogynistic views of women in medieval literature. Because of this, Christine would be regarded as one of the earliest feminist icons. This episode also includes passages from her books.
