Saints and Sinners in Medieval Europe

Overview

The institutional church never had the kind of control over the populace of medieval Europe that modern people think it did. This module explores the multiplicity of types of belief and practice amongst those who lived in accordance with the church’s teaching—monks and nuns, wandering preachers, pious families—and the varieties of resistance among those who did not—Jews, Muslims, and heretics, social revolutionaries, sexual nonconformists, practitioners of the occult, student wastrels. We will discuss the kinds of sources that tell us about these groups, including saints’ lives, chronicles, Inquisition registers, letters, and poetry. People in the Middle Ages were no more credulous than we are today, but they had different sources of information.

Time, Date, and Place

This lecture-only module comprises one lecture per week over one term, commencing the week beginning 22 September 2025. Lectures take place on the Trinity Campus.

Course Fees

€85 full rate, €60 concession rate. The concession rate is available to all those retired, over 65s, and those on a government pension/payment plan and the unwaged, including second and third-level students.
