<p>I love the Middle Ages. I'm a professor of medieval history, part time metalhead, and former Marine, and I think the Middle Ages are <strong><em>awesome</em></strong>. Chances are, if you're here, then you think so too. Whatever brought you here -- maybe you're fan of video games, novels, and role-playing games that hark back to medieval Europe, maybe you find medieval illuminations and stained glass to be heart-breakingly beautiful, or maybe you're just curious -- if you join me for a listen, I think you'll find that this stuff is amazing as well.</p><br><p>Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/ujcEcCtxE9</p><br><p>Intro and outro music is the Dies Irae from Ildebrando Pizzetti's requiem mass performed by <a href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/The_Tudor_Consort/bio" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Tudor Consort</a>.</p><br><p>Thumbnail .jpeg produced by Sean M.
