The Sixth Age: A Medieval History Podcast

Forget everything you think you know about the "Dark Ages." The Sixth Age is a deep dive into Medieval History that strips away modern myths to reveal the world as it was actually lived.

Why did people in the Middle Ages see the world the way they did? From the fall of Rome to the dawn of the Renaissance, we reconstruct the Medieval worldview using primary sources and period-accurate perspectives. If you’re a fan of European history, historiography, and immersive storytelling, join us as we reject later stereotypes to rediscover the vibrant, complex, and often surprising lives of our ancestors.

Subscribe to The Sixth Age for a fresh, authentic look at the history of the Medieval world.
