From the crumbling Roman order to the dawn of the Renaissance, medieval Europe was a crucible of faith, violence, and survival. Lucas and Luna lead a sprawling exploration of this thousand-year saga, where knights swore oaths of chivalry while peasants toiled under feudal lords, and plagues reshaped entire societies. We track the rise and fall of dynasties—the Merovingians, Carolingians, and Plantagenets—and the battles that defined them, from Tours to Agincourt. We delve into the intricacies of manorialism, the Crusades' clash of cultures, and the intellectual ferment of cathedral schools and universities. The Black Death, the Great Famine, and the Hundred Years' War reveal a world of relentless hardship and resilience. Popes and emperors wrestled for supremacy; heretics and mystics challenged orthodoxy; and the first stirrings of nation-states emerged from feudal chaos. This show combines narrative depth with scholarly analysis, examining how medieval institutions—common law, parliament, guilds—still shape our modern world. Whether you're drawn to the sword-and-shield drama or the quieter lives of monks, merchants, and midwives, join us as we unearth the brutal, complex reality behind the 'Dark Ages' and discover why this era continues to fascinate. #MedievalEurope #Knights #Feudalism #Crusades #BlackDeath #HundredYearsWar #Charlemagne #Plantagenet #MagnaCarta #NormanConquest #HolyRomanEmpire #Chivalry #Monasticism #Inquisition #GothicCathedrals #History #WorldHistory #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • The 1381 Peasants Revolt: Wat Tyler and the Burning of London

    The 1381 Peasants Revolt: Wat Tyler and the Burning of London
    2026/07/21
    In June 1381, tens of thousands of English peasants and townspeople marched on London, seizing the Tower, executing the Archbishop of Canterbury, and forcing the teenage King Richard II to meet their demands. This episode follows the revolt from its origins in the poll tax rebellion of Essex and Kent, through the dramatic events at Blackheath and Mile End, to the bloody confrontation at Smithfield where Wat Tyler was struck down. We explore the role of the radical preacher John Ball, whose 'When Adam delved and Eve span' sermon challenged social hierarchy, and the complex figure of Wat Tyler himself — a former soldier and presumed leader of the Kentish rebels. We also consider the aftermath: the savage reprisals led by the king's justices, the parliament's repudiation of the promised charters, and the long shadow the revolt cast on English social relations. Drawing on chronicles by Thomas Walsingham, the Anonimalle Chronicle, and Jean Froissart, we piece together a vivid, grounded account of a week that nearly toppled the ruling order. #PeasantsRevolt #WatTyler #JohnBall #RichardII #PollTax #Smithfield #Blackheath #MileEnd #TowerOfLondon #AnonimalleChronicle #ThomasWalsingham #Froissart #Kent #Essex #1381 #MedievalEngland #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The 1349 St George's Day Massacre: Jewish Communities of Strasbourg

    The 1349 St George's Day Massacre: Jewish Communities of Strasbourg
    2026/07/21
    In February 1349, as the Black Death swept through Europe, the entire Jewish community of Strasbourg was burned alive on a massive pyre in their own cemetery. This episode examines the St. George's Day Massacre, exploring how plague panic, economic resentment, and political maneuvering turned neighbors into murderers. We follow the role of the guilds, the failed protection by city officials, and the Emperor Charles IV's cynical revocation of Jewish charters. We also contrast Strasbourg with other towns like Basel and Freiburg, where different outcomes emerged. The episode includes voices from the Nuremberg Memorbuch and contemporary chroniclers like Jacob von Königshofen, who tried to defend the Jews. A grim but essential look at how societies fracture under fear. #Strasbourg #JewishHistory #BlackDeath #MedievalEurope #Pogrom #StGeorgesDay #1349 #JacobvonKönigshofen #NurembergMemorbuch #CharlesIV #HolyRomanEmpire #Guilds #Plague #Persecution #AlsatianHistory #MedievalCrime #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The 1358 Jacquerie: France's Brutal Peasant Uprising

    The 1358 Jacquerie: France's Brutal Peasant Uprising
    2026/07/20
    In 1358, as the Hundred Years' War ravaged France and the king was captive in England, the peasantry of the Île-de-France rose in a desperate, violent revolt known as the Jacquerie. Spurred by noble failures and crushing taxes, they burned castles and killed lords. The uprising was met with savage reprisals led by nobleman Charles the Bad of Navarre. This episode explores the causes, key events, and brutal suppression of the Jacquerie, focusing on figures like Guillaume Cale and Étienne Marcel. We examine how the revolt reflected broader social tensions, the role of the Parisian merchant class, and why the term 'Jacquerie' became synonymous with peasant rebellion. Specific locations include the villages of Saint-Leu-d'Esserent and the Battle of Mello. #Jacquerie #PeasantRevolt #HundredYearsWar #France1358 #GuillaumeCale #ÉtienneMarcel #CharlesTheBad #SaintLeu #Mello #MedievalFrance #PeasantUprising #Feudalism #SocialHistory #History #FexingoHistory #MedievalEurope #Revolt #KingJohnII Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
