Hello friends,
Episode 8 of the Athenaeum Podcast is now live.
Jeremy sits down with medieval history writer Memory Medieval for a discussion on medieval (and early modern) culture, honor, and combat, in the context of a fascinating book called “Duelling Stories of the Sixteenth Century.”
You can watch the episode for free on Substack, or on YouTube if you prefer.
Enjoy!
