@sapphael: Uh oh I forgot to turn my air purifier off. Can you hear it? Does it bother you? Are you going to send me to jail? #medieval #History #feminism #religion #historyfacts
I think they just wanted a space away from men. Which is so real. I want that now😭

I think we should have more of that today. Not a religious order but a community of women helping women.

This sounds like the predecessor to consecrated virgins. We apparently have one in my diocese, she’s taken some kind of vows but she’s not affiliated with a convent, her superior is the bishop. I don’t really understand it 😅

Would love more videos about beguines!!!! I'm also curious if you're interested/do research in the history of places outside of Europe, would love some videos about other medieval, religious figures as well! ❤️

What’s the link between this kind of Beguine and the dance referred to in “Begin the Beguine”? They both seem to have the same etymology but I’m not having any luck figuring out why

I was raised Catholic and never heard of Beguines - maybe because the church saw them as competition with nuns?

Never turn off the air purifier... especially if you are in the cloud swath!! Not even that loud, and kinda soothing! I want to be the single mum nun....

this had me extremely confused for a bit when the lyrics to Under the Sea popped into my head (When the sardines/Begin the beguine/It's music to me) but I now know that refers to a 1930s Caribbean dance style

I wonder to what extent the exclusion of Beguines who were pregnant to married men or priests was because that was seen as an inherently more serious breach of their vows vs to avoid these men targeting Beguines to take advantage of the relatively generous treatment they’d get. (Though I also wonder how many pregnant Beguines actually made it back, it must have been incredibly difficult to make it through that year away from the beguinage.)

I love your analysis of history. You don’t really use too much of a 21st century lense, you detach yourself from that and conduct your analysis within the framework of the society you’re investigating.
