Episode description as stored
<p>For Medieval Europe, the Apocalypse wasn’t just a metaphor - it was very real and very imminent.</p><p>We are talking about the four horsemen, locusts the size of horses, the beast of the abyss, the Whore of Babylon, and, obviously, the anti-christ.</p><p>We’re going to go through the medieval apocalypse blow-by-blow to see how this obsession with the end led to bizarre real-world cults like the Flagellants, who abandoned all norms for group sex in the woods.</p>
<p>Our guest today is Dr Eleanor Janega, co-host of Gone Medieval with Matt Lewis. Watch Eleanor's documentary about the <a href="https://access.historyhit.com/videos/medievalapocalypse" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Medieval Apocalypse here.</a></p>
