Did you know that nuns played a pivotal role in the First Crusade? Well, you're in for a treat! Our episode today unveils the almost forgotten accounts of these holy women who took part in the religious pilgrimage to the Holy Land. We’re unearthing stories tucked away in Muslim sources, brilliantly ignored by European chronicles, and tossed around by the men of the era. Join us as we unravel Pope Urban II's stand on women and children joining the crusade, and the views of Albert of Aachen, a fervent monk who documented the crusade's highs and lows.
Switch gears, and let's brace ourselves for a roller coaster ride into the bizarre tale of the Nun of Cambrai and her divine goose. A story so absurd yet captivating, you might find yourself questioning the sanity of the era. As we dissect the shocking atrocities committed under the pretense of following the divine goose's signs, we question - was it a clever manipulation or just a comical farce of the circumstances? From worshiping the animal to the horrendous crimes against the Jewish community, we delve into it all. So kick back, relax, and join us on this wild expedition into the historic and hilarious world of the nuns of the First Crusade.
