🚨EPISODE 31 The grisly death (and life) of Saint Thomas Becket with Dr. Paul Webster. This will serve as a bridge to get us back on track for the Richard series and examine the life, martyrdom, and impact of one of the most influential non-nobles of medieval history! Links👇

@MemoryMedieval Pope Gregory IX literally excommunicated emperor Frederick II for not fulfilling his crusader vow. If the emperor was held accountable for not fulfilling his crusader vow, then for sure commoners were held accountable for not fulfilling their crusader vows.

In 1200 and 1201 Pope Innocent III wanted names of all the wagies who let their 9-5 get in the way of fulfilling their crusader vow

I don't care if you've read Cormac McCarthy or not. I care if you've read Brantome.

It's a strange one. I appreciated his fidelity to the story. Generally I enjoyed the movie. However, I thought it was a very poor movie. If he hadn't done the tryptic style of telling the story and just told the story normally, would have been 10x better. I don't think the different povs added anything and all of that time could have been used to flush out events better. An unfortunate whiff, which I enjoyed watching.

@MemoryMedieval I realize the story is unrelated (and separated by a few centuries) but curious if you have any thoughts on Ridley Scott's "The Last Duel".

@JeremyRyanSlate If you have literally nothing else to watch but I can't really recommend. The duel itself is good, you can youtube it.

@MemoryMedieval I considered asking you about this tonight. 🤣 You nailed the review though. He got "fancy" in presentation and killed the story.

@MemeStrider Problem is that the style makes it hard to rewatch (I have not rewatched it) or even to recommend.

The West is Greek Wisdom. The West is Roman Order. The West is Germanic Fervour. The West is Iberian Devotion. The West is Celtic Imagination. The West is Slavic Perseverance. The West is Christian Faith.

@Centurion6246 It has, as is intended, heroic connotations. Impactful does not. Dweebs try to conflate the two but I am not going to let them.

@MemoryMedieval When I taught writing I tried to get my students to pack as much meaning into as few syllables as possible. "Great" is more broad than "impactful" but also somehow hits harder also.
