141. Sylvester II

from PONTIFACTS: Ranking the Popes Hosted by Pontifacts

Pope Sylvester was one of the most brilliant minds of the entire medieval era - but was this incredible skill the result of a deal with the devil? In his episode we discuss the Golden Age of Al-Andalus, the Investiture Controversy, and a very unusual path to becoming pope.
