Saints and Sinners: Popes and Monks in Medieval Europe

Thursday 24 January 2019, 1.00PM to 3.00pm

Enrol and pay online

Regarded as the successors of St Peter, popes have been powerful political and religious figures. Conversely, monks saw themselves as saintly and separated from the material world. Nevertheless, they also tried to impose their authority on secular, as well as religious, matters. While a few of these men may have justly been canonised, others provided role models for sinners. This course will study the influence of popes and monks on medieval European affairs, focusing on political and cultural conflicts throughout the period.
