Why You Couldn’t Handle Medieval Women

In this video, we dive into the emotional, religious, and social world of late medieval Europe, specifically from the perspective of medieval women. From Johan Huizinga’s insights in The Waning of the Middle Ages to the mysticism of Margery Kempe, the poetry of Guillaume de Machaut, and the pioneering voice of Christine de Pizan, this video explores how medieval women thought about love, chivalry, piety, and morality—and why they’d probably find you annoying.
