Sun 2nd Breakout #2: WHAT THE MIDDLE AGES HAS DONE FOR THE MODERN WORLD
By: Carrie Lightner
Did you know that Edward III’s last parliament invented impeachment? That cancel culture in universities actually began at Oxford and Paris in the 14th century? That Edward II’s bacchanalian revels would have made Johnny Depp’s worst nights look like kindergarten parties by comparison? And then there’s the Magna Carta, which supposedly limited the power of the monarchy and established the principle that everyone, including the king, is subject to the law. The great fun and scintillating interest of having in our midst British historian DAN JONES, host of the podcast This Is History and a riveting storyteller, will bring us intimately into the weirdly prescient past of the Middle Ages.
