    🎃Tales of Medieval Revenge by Edgar Allan Poe🎃Executive Producer:⭐Lilac Square Antiques & Books💰Become a Producer! DONATE to the show via PayPal, or use Venmo You can also donate with StripeOn this Medieval Archives Halloween Special we're listening to two tales of revenge by the the master of gothic horror, Edgar Allan Poe.This isn't the first time Poe has made an appearance on Medieval Archive. I love Poe's work, one of my favorite stories is "The Tell-Tale Heart." It's not medieval but it is fantastic. On past Halloween episodes we featured The Masque of the Red Death and The Pit and the Pendulum. The two stories on this episode are "Hop-Frog" and "The Cask of Amontillado." "Hop-Frog" focuses on Hop Frog, a court jester who is constantly humiliated by the king and his men. When the King demands Hop Frog create a unique custom for a masquerade ball Hop Frog devises a terrible plan for revenge.The story takes inspiration from the Ball of the Burning Men in 14th century France during the reign of King Charles the Mad. If you listened to episode 31 of the podcast you might know where the story of Hop Frog is going. If not, you're in for a nice tale of revenge.The Cask of Amontillado is another tale of revenge. While not specifically medieval it is close the the middle ages and the entire story takes place in creepy medieval catacombs under an Italian palazzo.Montresor opens the story by stating he has suffered a "thousand injuries" and a final, unforgivable insult from his acquaintance, Fortunato. It leads to Montresor plotting his revenge to teach Fortunato a lesson.Get all the links and see the bibliography in the show notes on Medieval Archives!Grab a free copy of The Complete Works of Edgar Allan PoeOther episodes mentioned:Ep. 31 - Mad Monarchs of the Middle AgesEp. 77 - The Masque of the Red DeathEp. 69 - The Pit and the Pendulum Listen to all the Medieval Halloween Episodes!(00:08) - Welcome to Medievel Archives 🎃Halloween Special(00:54) - Thank you Producers!(01:10) - Email your thoughts and comments(01:32) - Edgar Allan Poe Introduction(03:02) - Hop-Frog(27:28) - The Cask of Amontillado(42:46) - Get your free audio book(43:06) - Give your friends a treat! 🍬(43:18) - Become an Executive Producer!(43:43) - Thank You for your Support!!

The country was on the brink of collapse.At the center of it all stood one man: John the Fearless, a prince of the blood with a legitimate claim to the throne, a crusader who battled the Turks in the Balkans, and a powerful duke who shaped the destiny of an entire nation. John earned his name 'the Fearless' at the Battle of Nicopolis fighting the Ottoman Turks. Sultan Bayezid I gave him the name after witnessing John's fierce nature in battle. John was captured at Nicopolis and remained a prisoner for two years. After returning to France and becoming the Duke of Burgundy he looked to expand his power and influence, ultimately assassinating the Duke of Orleans leading to the Armagnac–Burgundian Civil War. John the Fearless' story is a wild tale of ambition, betrayal, and bloodshed. So, get ready to explore a pivotal chapter of French history.

  • MAP92: Canterbury: A Modern Day Pilgrimage
    Mar 10 2025
    Executive Producer:⭐Helle HagenauA day trip to Canterbury is a a popular choice for tourists visiting England and London and for good reason, it's a great city!During our European vacation in the Summer of 2024 we had a free day and decided to take a modern day pilgrimage to Canterbury and Canterbury Cathedral. We decided not to walk the Pilgrim's Way though, instead traveling by train to Canterbury. There were learning lessons for the kids (even on summer break), pubs for the adults and lots of medieval history! It was a jammed packed day but we still found time to relax and take in all the sights and sounds.We take a walk around Canterbury visiting the medieval sights and other sights. The entire family had a great time in Canterbury. It was one of the highlights of our trip.From the medieval city walls and gatehouse, to Buttermarket Square and the glorious cathedral that draws thousands of visitors ever year, Canterbury is a great day trip and if you have more time you should plan to spend 2-3 days exploring the city.Other Episodes mentioned:Episode 80: John HawkwoodEpisode 73: The Miller's TaleEpisode 1: St. Thomas BecketGrab your copy of The Canterbury Tales!

  • MAP90: The Black Hour: Solar Eclipse and the Medieval Mind
    Apr 8 2024
    Have you ever seen an eclipse? I’ve seen numerous lunar eclipses and I’ve seen a few partial solar eclipse, but never a total solar eclipse. On 08 April 2024, Mexico, the United States and Canada will experience a total solar eclipse. It’s the first one in 7 years and the last one for 20 years. The next total solar eclipse in North America will be in 2044.Europe won’t be in the path of the 2024 eclipse but, if you live in Europe you won’t have to wait long for a total eclipse. There’s one on the way soon.In modern times we know what is happening. How did medieval people feel about an eclipse. Was it seen as a bad omen or a curse?
