Fortune's Wheel: A Podcast History of the Late Middle Ages

By: Jonathon LaRosa
  • Summary

  • The Middle Ages is an oft-overlooked era in Western Civilization when many of our modern borders, cultures, and traditions came to be. Using in-depth research, the story of our medieval ancestors comes to life in vivid detail with an emphasis on tying the myriad storylines of the time together, to highlight the spider's web of European, African, Islamic and Asian entanglements proving once and for all our modern world was not created in a vacuum.

    Dilexi iustitiam et odivi iniquitatem, propterea morior in exilio. I hope you are sitting down for this one. I have one more bit of news to share with you all. The question is…how will the Countess take the news?

  • 142: The Norman Sack of Rome
    Oct 29 2024

    One of the most devastating events in the Middle Ages occurs on this episode. The fact that it isn’t talked about more is, frankly, criminal. And of all of our protagonists and antagonists in this season of the podcast, you may be surprised who it affects the most.
