Think the Middle Ages were just plague, prayer, and misery? Think again. In this episode, historian Eleanor Janega dives into the surprisingly "sumptuous" world of medieval pleasure. From the graphic street names of York to the secret sex lives of the clergy, we’re stripping away the myth of the "unrelentingly grim" Dark Ages to reveal a society that was much dirtier, and funnier, than you’ve been led to believe.
