127: The Walk to Canossa

The title of this episode is actually an old German phrase. To take a walk to Canossa means to humble oneself to the point of even begging for forgiveness. In American parlance, we say “eating crow.” Where did this come from, this phrase about humbling oneself? Listen and find out. If there was a list of the top five most definitive moments of the entire Middle Ages, what happens on this episode would certainly make it.
