Lucas and Luna explore the life and legacy of Dunstan of Glastonbury, the 10th-century archbishop who reformed the English Church, advised kings from Edmund to Æthelred, and became a saint. They discuss his role in the Benedictine reform, his exile under King Eadwig, his restoration under Edgar, and the 'Regularis Concordia' that unified monastic practice. They also touch on the legends surrounding him—the famous 'Dunstan and the Devil' story—and his lasting impact on English governance and learning.
