I’m pleased to announce a new, ongoing Medieval Papacy series, exploring the lives, conflicts, and legacies of the popes who shaped the medieval world.

Sciarra Colonna slapping Boniface VIII

The series examines individual popes through sources and historical context, looking at power, reform, controversy, and the human realities behind the office. The popes featured so far are collected here: https://medievalarchives.com/Medieval-Papacy

With a new article dropping every Thursday, there is always a fresh perspective to discover as this collection grows.

If you’re interested in medieval history, church history, or the political and cultural forces that shaped Europe, I hope you’ll follow along.
