The Normans Remade the Christian World

from History of the Papacy Podcast · host History of the Papacy

In this episode, Steve Guerra and Patrick Young explored how the Norman Conquest reshaped far more than the English throne, remaking the Church, culture, and power structures of Anglo-Saxon England. They discussed papal backing for William’s invasion, the drive for ecclesiastical uniformity, the displacement of native clergy, and the deeper changes that rippled across the Christian world after 1066. This was not only the story of a conquest, but of how the Normans helped remake the Christian world. #HistoryOfThePapacy #ForgottenChristianity #NormanConquest #1066 #ChurchHistory #MedievalHistory #AngloSaxonEngland #ChristianHistory Subscribe to Forgotten Christianity on Substack: https://forgottenchristianity.substack.com/ Let us know what you think about this episode in the comments section below!
