folks, we have once again stumbled upon some hilariously-insane social media posts and have decided to relate them back to the Middle Ages. the main gist is this: a twitter user posted about how the Catholic Virgin Mary was an unaging smokeshow and objectively the most beautiful woman to ever live as compared to that ugly hag Protestant Virgin Mary, who is apparently a totally separate individual. She then decided to do some clarifications and here we are. since this view is quite similar to that of typical European Medieval beauty standards, we decided to make fun of these posts and then talk about why Medieval people were so weird and contradictory like this.<br /><br />https://x.com/BreeSolstad/status/1909651875856875800<br />https://x.com/BreeSolstad/status/1909986247843741924

folks, we're back with another installment of our occasional Medieval women series where we look back at two influential women from the Middle Ages. today, we look at two who couldn't be more different in most respects: the Byzantine princess and historian, Anna Komnene, and the English anchoress, mystic, and visionary, Julian of Norwich. we talk about what made each of them influential and how they made their marks in male-dominated fields of history, politics, and religion. check it out!

folks, we're back and it's time to talk about polling! specifically, a recent YouGov poll that asked Americans for their opinions on the European Middle Ages. and before you think the worst, the responses were quite heartening! the Dark Ages myth is now below 50% and seems to be far more popular with older generations and more Americans think about the Middle Ages on a weekly basis than they do about the Roman Empire. there's a lot more, which you can check out at the link below. but we good news is we got to ask David Montgomery, who conducted the poll, plenty of questions about what it means and what we should infer from the results. unfortunately, Dr. Eleanor had to join the recording partway through do to us working between multiple deadlines to get it done but Luke and David talk it through until then.<br /><br />poll: <a href="https://today.yougov.com/entertainment/articles/51889-violent-dark-dirty-americans-middle-ages" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://today.yougov.com/entertainment/articles/51889-violent-dark-dirty-americans-middle-ages</a><br /><br />David's podcast about French history after Napoleon to before WW1: <a href="https://www.thesiecle.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.thesiecle.com</a>
