Summary

Both Frederick II and King John were excommunicated from the all-powerful church, but why?

Dr. Eleanor Janega and Dr. Felicity Hill explore the complex phenomenon of excommunication in the medieval period, from the politics and propaganda behind this spiritual sanction, to its social, legal, and theological implications. They discover how excommunication shaped medieval society as much as it threatened the eternal souls of those cast out.

Gone Medieval is presented by Dr. Eleanor Janega and was edited and produced by Joseph Knight. The senior producer is Anne-Marie Luff.

Gone Medieval is a History Hit podcast.
