  • Medieval Roots of The Modern Alphabet

    Medieval Roots of The Modern Alphabet
    Dec 5 2025

    How did the alphabet we use today take shape?

    Matt Lewis welcomes Danny Bates to explore how the medieval period shaped the alphabet we use today. They discuss the transformation of Egyptian hieroglyphs, the significant impact of the Norman Conquest of 1066, and the eventual disappearance of medieval letters like thorn (þ) and ash (æ). This is a journey across millennia from the adaptability of letters during the fall of Rome to innovations in medieval script and chaotic English rules.
