Please give us 10 more videos with this woman!!!!
-
7:28 “They did not. Most of them died.” Delivery was so dry and factual but this made me genuinely laugh out loud
-
As a Spanish native speaker I have realized that I have never mispronounced anything, I was just talking in Medieval English!
-
the monk shaming the cat in said manuscript is just peak "I'm not having this remade or doing this over again"
-
The way she knew GOT lore just as well as medieval history made this even better
-
3:48 Wakes up at 11 midnight "Lo! 'Tis a fine hour to meet mine neighbor Jake anon."
-
I loved how cats are just as "I do what I want" back then as they are now. 😂
-
She was my professor and she was WONDERFULLY intelligent, kind and funny! I dreaded taking a class on Arthurian lit and came out LOVING it. I adore this woman
-
Hmm wow. I always thought the whole "KNIGGET" pronunciation of knight was just a monty python joke
-
"this stain, my Lord, has been done by our beloved cat, who peed on, he is a trouble maker and a scoundrel."
-
It's always nice whenever the Teacher really reads out the whole tweet, with cuss words and all. brings more character. 😂❤
-
Professor Armstrong is one of my favorite instructors on Great Courses Plus -- her Black Death courses, especially her more recent updated course, with latest research results, is amazing! SHE'S amazing!
-
12:47 Can we start a petition to get that dog canonised!! Justice for Saint Guinefort!
-
A queen who not only divorced her husband, but got quickly remarried and had several sons, among them the famous Richard Lionheart, but she also lived to 80yrs old!? That's a lifetime achievement award!
-
Prof Armstrong is brilliant, have been a huge fan for ages. She is the Queen of Arthurian academia. Pls can we get another 15 videos with her?
-
Her chain mail jewelry is perfection ❤
-
We need more history experts on this show!
-
What do you mean there is no Iron Maiden? I've been to their concert. I've seen them with my own eyes
-
Don't know if anyone else has commented but the story of the sainted greyhound is almost identical to a story in medieval Cymru (Wales) about a dog called Gelert. In fact, you can visit where his grave is meant to be in a village in North Cymru called 'Beddgelert' which translates as Gelert's grave.

Dr. Armstrong made me fall in love with medieval history twenty years ago with her book on gender and chivalry. She's also done an incredible series on the Black Death. My favorite historian hands down.
