128. Heroes and Sinners: The Lives of Medieval Saints
Henge

Prepare to be enthralled as Amy Jeffs and Luke Daly weave together engaging narratives, captivating miracles, and enthralling stories of saints to unveil the vibrant tapestry of events that shaped the medieval era. Gone are the distant voices of emperors and kings; instead, we hear from ordinary people who witnessed the world around them, sharing their intimate thoughts, fears, and attitudes towards world-changing events. Experience the gripping anxiety, fear, and paranoia that accompanied threats to the kingdom of heaven, as these saints fought to defend and restore their faith. But, as the Church solidifies its position, discover how saints were then utilised as instruments of control to shape public order.
