    Mar 24 2025
    Executive Producer:⭐Helle Hagenau 🏹 Robin Hood 🏹 in the MoviesThe story of Robin Hood is over 600 years old. An Outlaw from English folklore and a hero to the people, Robin Hood has inspired countless poems, books and movies.Robin Hood first appeared in the poem Piers Plowman, written around 1377. His band of Merry Men, Will Scarlett, Little John and Much the Miller’s son, began to appear in the 15th century.Friar Tuck first appeared in the 1450 story titled Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham. The 1475 tale Robin Hood and Guy of Gisbourne introduce Gisbourne as a friend of the Sheriff and one of Robin’s arch enemies. Maid Marian appeared in the tales by the 16th century.The legend of Robin Hood as we know it today is credited to two men in the 19th century Sir Walter Scott and Howard Pyle.It's unclear if Robin was and actual person but there are a couple of good candidates. A man called Roger Godberd and a man called Robin Hood of York. Real or not, Robin Hood is a folk hero for the ages and Hollywood always loves a folk hero.

  • MAP92: Canterbury: A Modern Day Pilgrimage

    MAP92: Canterbury: A Modern Day Pilgrimage
    Mar 10 2025
    Executive Producer:⭐Helle HagenauA day trip to Canterbury is a a popular choice for tourists visiting England and London and for good reason, it's a great city!During our European vacation in the Summer of 2024 we had a free day and decided to take a modern day pilgrimage to Canterbury and Canterbury Cathedral. We decided not to walk the Pilgrim's Way though, instead traveling by train to Canterbury. There were learning lessons for the kids (even on summer break), pubs for the adults and lots of medieval history! It was a jammed packed day but we still found time to relax and take in all the sights and sounds.We take a walk around Canterbury visiting the medieval sights and other sights. The entire family had a great time in Canterbury. It was one of the highlights of our trip.From the medieval city walls and gatehouse, to Buttermarket Square and the glorious cathedral that draws thousands of visitors ever year, Canterbury is a great day trip and if you have more time you should plan to spend 2-3 days exploring the city.Other Episodes mentioned:Episode 80: John HawkwoodEpisode 73: The Miller's TaleEpisode 1: St. Thomas BecketGrab your copy of The Canterbury Tales!

  • MAP90: The Black Hour: Solar Eclipse and the Medieval Mind

    MAP90: The Black Hour: Solar Eclipse and the Medieval Mind
    Apr 8 2024
    Have you ever seen an eclipse? I’ve seen numerous lunar eclipses and I’ve seen a few partial solar eclipse, but never a total solar eclipse. On 08 April 2024, Mexico, the United States and Canada will experience a total solar eclipse. It’s the first one in 7 years and the last one for 20 years. The next total solar eclipse in North America will be in 2044.Europe won’t be in the path of the 2024 eclipse but, if you live in Europe you won’t have to wait long for a total eclipse. There’s one on the way soon.In modern times we know what is happening. How did medieval people feel about an eclipse. Was it seen as a bad omen or a curse? Or did they understand the science behind it?In this episode we'll look at the myths, omens and science of eclipses and the medieval era .(00:00) - Medieval Archives 90(00:12) - Welcome Back(00:20) - Medieval Solar Eclipses(01:14) - Questions, Comments or Topic Ideas?(01:27) - Get a new Podcast App! https://podcasting2.org/(02:26) - 2024 Eclipse(03:15) - 2026 Eclipse(03:34) - 2027 Eclipse(05:05) - Medieval Myths and Solar Eclipses(05:16) - Giant Frog eating the sun(05:20) - Rahu the Demon(05:40) - Chinese Myths(05:56) - Norse Myth(06:19) - Omens & Death(06:20) - Mohammad’s Eclipse 632(06:38) - Louis of Bavaria 840(07:12) - Reconquista 939(07:52) - Dub, King of the Scots and Two Eclipses(08:48) - King Henry’s eclipse 1133(10:16) - Medieval Earthquakes https://medievalarchives.com/75(11:38) - The Anarchy https://medievalarchives.com/4(11:46) - Eclipse of 1185 and Prince Igor(12:15) - The Black Hour 1433(12:47) - Astronomy and the Medieval Mind(13:07) - Can Stonehenge predict eclipses?(13:20) - Stonehenge Eclipse 1999(13:29) - Stonehenge Eclipse 2090(13:35) - Medieval Chroniclers record eclipses(13:46) - 733 Eclipse and the Venerable Bede(14:00) - Leo the Deacon discovers the solar corona(15:11) - Geoffrey Malaterra, Sicily 1084(15:36) - Saladin, Syria 1176(15:49) - Eclipse 1185 and a new discovery(16:10) - Laurentian Codex and the Solar Prominences(17:22) - Roger of Wendover & Solar Eclipse 1230(17:55) - Regiomontanus & the Alfonsine tables(18:27) - Medieval thought vs 2024 thought(19:26) - Go outside and see the eclipse!(19:42) - Share your photos; tag Medieval Archives on social media(19:54) - independently owned and operated(20:05) - Keep history alive!

  • MAP89: British Myths & Legends with Amy Jeffs

    MAP89: British Myths & Legends with Amy Jeffs
    Feb 28 2024

    Medievalist and Art Historian Dr. Amy Jeffs joins the show to discuss her books Storyland: A New Mythology of Britain and Wild: Tales from Early Medieval Britain

    In Amy’s first book, Storyland she examines the origins of Britain from Noah’s flood to the Norman invasion. And there are some good stories to tell, including the incredible story of Albina, who ruled Britain, was seduced by demons and gave birth to a race of giants.

    In her second book titled Wild takes you on a journey from desolation to hope. Through seven chapters of insightful reflection she is able to retell stories from medieval texts with vivid descriptions and unique perspectives.

    One of the standout elements of both books are the illustrations which Amy created. Listen to the episode to find out how she created them and how the creation process helped her through the lock-down, quarantine we all dealt with.

    You can find Amy Jeffs online at: Twitter/X & Instagram

    You can buy Storyland: A New Mythology of Britain and Wild: Tales from Early Medieval Britain on Amazon.

  • MAP88: The Crusader States with Nic Morton

    MAP88: The Crusader States with Nic Morton
    Jan 29 2024

    Professor and author Nicolas Morton joins the podcast to discuss his book, The Crusader States and their Neighbours.

    The Crusader States were founded during the First Crusade. The Crusaders conquered the land and claimed it as their own. There were four Crusader States established during the First Crusade; The County of Edessa, The County of Tripoli, the Principal of Antioch and the Kingdom of Jerusalem. For almost 200 years the Crusaders States grew and thrived…or did they?

    That’s why we have Nic Morton on the show today. His new book The Crusader States and their Neighbours, well it’s not really new. It was first published in 2020 but it’s now getting a new printing and in paperback. His book looks at the history of the Crusader States, their creation, how they were ruled over and how outside forces led to their eventually demise.

    You can find Nic Morton online at: Twitter/X | YouTube | Academia.edu
    You can buy The Crusader States and their Neighbours on Amazon or from Oxford University Press and grab a copy of The Mongol Storm on Amazon as well.

    The Black Arrow by Robert Louis Stevenson

    The Black Arrow: A Tale of Two Roses is the 1888 historical adventure novel.

    Set in fifteenth century England during the Wars of the Roses, the story revolves around Richard (Dick) Shelton as he becomes knighted, rescues his beloved Joanna Sedley, and finds justice for the slaughter of his father, Harry Shelton.

    An outlaw named Ellis Duckworth equipped with a black arrow as his trademark weapon convinces Dick that his own personal guardian, Sir Daniel Brackley, has been disloyal. As a result, Dick helps a fellowship of outlaws called The Black Arrow to defeat Brackley and win back his lady.
