Medieval Hour: with our resident medievalist, Professor John Ott

Beyond Footnotes

He’s back! Professor John Ott kindly returned to the show to discuss religion in medieval Europe and the different relationships it created and affected. Join Christian and myself as we discuss the role of religion in the lives of the average Medieval European as well as some of the important events and evolutions of the clergy and the Church. We discuss bishops and their role in the community, how the act of marriage became a religious ceremony, and much more. Also, please excuse the music in the background. We had some technical difficulties and were not able to edit it out all the way. Thank you for your understanding.
