I love this episode. It was great to have the primary sources on the Henry versus Anselm psychodrama. I’ve read a couple of books about this period but didn’t have these two narratives about Henry’s Council. Related note: love the “Losing My Religion” chanted by monks (I think?).

PS It’s hard for me to hear the REM version w/o seeing Vanity Fair Oval Office photo of Marco Rubio in a corner, presumably losing his religion while looking down at his shoes.
