093: Shifting Winds

Fortune's Wheel: A Podcast History of the Late Middle Ages

CORRECTION: I apologize for the confusion in this episode pertaining to Archbishop Stigand. I was on a roll and inserted the term "simony" for "plurality." To be clear: Archbishop Stigand was guilty of pluralism due to his simultaneous holding of both Canterbury and Winchester.

Today, we build some context for the next episode focusing on the shifting winds from 1070 to 1075.
