When a single holy nail went missing from Saint-Denis in 1232, the young King Louis IX wept, and much of France mourned as if disaster loomed. Professor R. Howard Bloch sets the stage for the Sainte-Chapelle by tracing the growth of the royal domain under Philip Augustus, the fragile monarchy defended by Blanche of Castile, and Louis IX, a muscular Christian and rare intellectual who fused church and state and rooted French legitimacy in biblical history. The panic over the lost nail of the crucifixion shows how deeply relics and kingship had become entwined.

To keep the crown of thorns from falling to Venetian bankers, Saint Louis paid a fortune, then carried it into France barefoot and weeping. Professor R. Howard Bloch recounts how the cash-strapped Latin emperor Baldwin II sold the crown, which had already been pawned in Venice, and the tense negotiations to bring it to Paris. Louis distributed single thorns to bishoprics across France, binding the realm like the spokes of a wheel, and kept adding relics, a piece of the true cross, the holy lance, the rod of Moses, casting himself as heir to Rome and a new Constantine and Moses.

Dit is een fragment van een langer gesprek tussen Midden-Oosten deskundige Paul Aarts en Marco van Duijn: https://youtube.com/live/0LfuJkjORtI De spanningen tussen Iran, Israël en de Verenigde Staten lopen opnieuw snel op. Wat is er de afgelopen weken veranderd? Hoe groot is de kans op verdere escalatie? En welke belangen spelen op de achtergrond? In een nieuwe uitzending van Recht voor Allen spreken we met Midden-Oostenexpert Paul Aarts over de nieuwste ontwikkelingen. Daarnaast gaan we in op een onderwerp waar veel over wordt gesproken, maar dat zelden goed wordt uitgelegd: Iran als 'threshold state'. Wat betekent die term? En welke gevolgen heeft dat voor de machtsverhoudingen in het Midden-Oosten? Paul Aarts doceerde meer dan dertig jaar internationale betrekkingen en Midden-Oostenstudies aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam. In die tijd zette hij een studentenuitwisselingsprogramma op met partners in Iran, Irak, Jemen, Syrië en Marokko. Hij publiceert vooral over de Golfregio, specifiek Iran en Saoedi-Arabië. Hij publiceerde een tiental boeken en een groot aantal artikelen. Met NRC–journaliste Carolien Roelants schreef hij onder andere Saoedi-Arabië. De revolutie die nog moet komen, vertaald in het Engels, Arabisch en Perzisch. Recht voor Allen, Jouw bron voor nieuws en commentaar over recht, politiek en idealen.

Uit brandweerkazerne Willem aan de Ringdijk is in de nacht van zondag op maandag levensreddend gereedschap gestolen. Het is al voor de derde keer in drie weken tijd dat er bij een Amsterdamse kazerne wordt ingebroken en dat dit soort spullen worden meegenomen. En dat leidt tot grote woede, zeker bij de commandant van de Amsterdamse brandweer Steven van de Looij. Als er maandagochtend rond 06.30 uur brandweerlieden bij de kazerne aankomen om te gaan werken, zien ze een groot gat in een ruit in een van de rolluiken van het gebouw. Op camerabeelden zien ze vervolgens dat er eerder die nacht is ingebroken. Op het moment van de inbraak liggen er collega's te slapen in het pand, die er niets van hebben gemerkt. "Het geeft ontzettend veel gevoelens van onveiligheid en angst als mensen je woonomgeving binnendringen, want dat is het op dat moment", zegt Steven van de Looij, sinds juni van dit jaar de nieuwe brandweercommandant van de stad. Als er maandagochtend rond 06.30 uur brandweerlieden bij de kazerne aankomen om te gaan werken, zien ze een groot gat in een ruit in een van de rolluiken van het gebouw. Op camerabeelden zien ze vervolgens dat er eerder die nacht is ingebroken. Op het moment van de inbraak liggen er collega's te slapen in het pand, die er niets van hebben gemerkt. "Het geeft ontzettend veel gevoelens van onveiligheid en angst als mensen je woonomgeving binnendringen, want dat is het op dat moment", zegt Steven van de Looij, sinds juni van dit jaar de nieuwe brandweercommandant van de stad. De inbrekers nemen zogenoemd redgereedschap mee uit de kazerne. "Dat is zwaar hulpverleningsmateriaal, bijvoorbeeld om mensen uit auto's te halen. En dan telt iedere seconde", vertelt Van de Looij. "Ik moet er niet aan denken dat ze iemand moeten redden en dat deze belangrijke apparatuur ontbreekt. Dan kan dat uiteindelijk zelfs fataal zijn. Ik ben hier ontzettend kwaad over en mijn collega's zijn er ook enorm van geschrokken en gefrustreerd over." Landelijke trend Die frustratie zit 'm mede in het feit dat deze inbraak niet op zichzelf staat. In het weekend van 18 en 19 juli werd er al twee keer ingebroken bij een kazerne in Noord. Ook daar werd levensreddend gereedschap gestolen. En ook landelijk zijn de inbraken bij kazernes een trend. Vorige maand nog sloeg de landelijke brandweer alarm. Op dat moment stond het aantal Nederlandse kazernes dat in 2026 doelwit was geworden van een inbraak al op 35. Sindsdien is dat aantal alleen nog maar gestegen. Ook vannacht nog werd er bij twee kazernes ingebroken. Eentje in Vlaardingen en een in Krommenie. Bij die laatste kazerne werd vorige week ook al ingebroken. Vermoedelijk zijn de gereedschappen zo geliefd omdat je er makkelijk sloten of zware deuren mee open kunt krijgen.  De brandweer neemt nu maatregelen, zo vertelt Van de Looij. "Denk dan bijvoorbeeld aan het neerzetten van tijdelijke camera's, zoals dat ook bij bouwterreinen gebeurt. Dat is een van de maatregelen waar we nu mee bezig zijn en die je ook heel binnenkort bij brandweerkazernes zult zien." Er worden ook wat meer onzichtbare maatregelen getroffen, maar daar doet de brandweer op dit moment geen uitspraak over, zodat mensen die willen inbreken niet weten waar dit om gaat.    De politie heeft nog niemand aangehouden voor de Amsterdamse inbraken. De recherche en forensische opsporing hebben maandag onderzoek gedaan bij de kazerne in Oost. Politie en brandweer vragen om uit te kijken naar de gestolen spullen. Als dat wordt hen door de politie verzocht om contact op te nemen. ❌ ❌ ❌ AT5 - Echt Amsterdams Nieuws Abonneer hier op ons youtubekanaal: https://www.youtube.com/AT5 Tips of opmerkingen?

By gathering the relics of Christ's passion, Saint Louis set out to turn Paris itself into a new Holy Land. Professor R. Howard Bloch shows the Sainte-Chapelle built in imitation of the relic chapel in Constantinople's Boukoleon Palace, described in dazzling terms by the crusader Robert de Clari. The relics made Paris a sacred landscape and the reliquary a new Temple of Solomon, and Pope Gregory IX cast France as a chosen kingdom. Bloch ties this to the legend of the holy oil brought by a dove for Clovis's baptism, still kept at Reims. Chapters: 00:00 A chapel modeled on Constantinople 01:36 A new Holy Land 02:03 France as the chosen kingdom 02:48 The holy oil and Clovis's baptism Learning objectives: After watching, you'll be able to: - Explain how the Sainte-Chapelle imitated the chapel at Constantinople - Describe how relics made Paris a new Holy Land - Summarize the claim that France was a chosen kingdom - Connect the holy oil of Clovis to the legitimacy of French kings 📚 About the Course: An introduction to some of the most astonishing architectural monuments the world has ever known: the Gothic cathedrals of medieval France.

Saint Louis built the Sainte-Chapelle as a giant jewel box for his relics, and after his death his own boiled bones and severed head were added to the collection. Professor R. Howard Bloch describes the chapel, consecrated in 1248, as a private palace church rather than a cathedral for the masses, a double structure with an upstairs of glass. He inventories its astonishing relics and traces how Louis's head came there in 1298, making the king another Saint Denis. The chapel embodies a favorite medieval idea: forms nested within forms, a reliquary within a reliquary within a reliquary. Chapters: 00:00 Relics transform time into space 01:19 Louis the great builder 02:51 Not a cathedral for the masses 04:29 A private palace chapel 05:34 A giant reliquary box 06:43 The king's own head as relic 07:53 Reliquaries as miniature churches 10:15 Forms within forms Learning objectives: After watching, you'll be able to: - Explain how the Sainte-Chapelle functioned as a giant reliquary - Contrast it with a public pilgrimage cathedral - Describe how Louis's remains became relics after his death - Interpret the principle of nested forms in Gothic architecture 📚 About the Course: An introduction to some of the most astonishing architectural monuments the world has ever known: the Gothic cathedrals of medieval France.

In the Sainte-Chapelle, no two of the hundred carved capitals are alike, part of a building that fuses glass, paint, and sculpture into a single total work of art. Professor R. Howard Bloch introduces the radiating (rayonnant) Gothic style and the chapel's saturated color, from the blue vault dotted with gold stars to walls of fleur-de-lis. He reads the carved capitals as a catalog of nature, oak, holly, grapes, lizards, and birds, and the twelve apostle statues of the upper chapel, considered among the finest medieval sculpture ever made. Chapters: 00:00 Radiating Gothic 01:35 A painted interior 02:15 Nature carved in the capitals 03:42 The twelve apostles Learning objectives: After watching, you'll be able to: - Define the radiating (rayonnant) Gothic style - Describe the painted decoration of the Sainte-Chapelle interior - Explain how the carved capitals catalog the natural world - Interpret the twelve apostle statues as spiritual pillars 📚 About the Course: An introduction to some of the most astonishing architectural monuments the world has ever known: the Gothic cathedrals of medieval France.

Step into the Sainte-Chapelle and you enter a house of glass, so flooded with color that visitors compared it to the enchanted castle of the Holy Grail. Professor R. Howard Bloch presents one of the most complete ensembles of medieval stained glass anywhere, two-thirds of it original. Much of it is too dense to read scene by scene (the story of Esther alone runs to well over 100 panels), so the effect is as much awe as instruction. Drawing on Pseudo-Dionysius, he reads the glass as light standing for God, and quotes a medieval visitor who felt transported to paradise on entering. Chapters: 00:00 The most complete glass anywhere 01:32 Glass too complex to read 02:38 Glass as light and jewels 03:36 The glass chapel of Arthurian legend 04:57 A foretaste of paradise Learning objectives: After watching, you'll be able to: - Describe the scale and completeness of the Sainte-Chapelle glass - Explain why the windows are difficult to read narratively - Connect the glass to the idea of light as a symbol of God - Interpret the chapel as a foretaste of paradise 📚 About the Course: An introduction to some of the most astonishing architectural monuments the world has ever known: the Gothic cathedrals of medieval France.

In the apse of the Sainte-Chapelle, the New Testament surrounds the Passion, and one prophet's window even points at an idol labeled with the name of Muhammad, on the eve of a crusade. Professor R. Howard Bloch reads the apse glass, where the Passion window stands over the altar framed by lancets of Christ's childhood, John the Evangelist, John the Baptist (whose skull bone the chapel held), and Daniel. He shows how the windows echo the detail of moralized Bibles, and how the prophets of the Tree of Jesse, Isaiah, and Ezekiel, with an early tetramorph, bridge the Old Testament and the New. Chapters: 00:00 New Testament in the apse 00:50 Windows like a moralized Bible 01:18 The Passion window 02:05 Flanking lancets and prophets 02:50 Salome and the Baptist 03:15 Jesse, Isaiah, and Ezekiel Learning objectives: After watching, you'll be able to: - Explain how New and Old Testament windows are arranged in the chapel - Describe the Passion window and its flanking lancets - Connect the glass to the moralized Bibles of 13th-century Paris - Interpret the prophetic cycle bridging the two Testaments 📚 About the Course: An introduction to some of the most astonishing architectural monuments the world has ever known: the Gothic cathedrals of medieval France.

In one window of the Sainte-Chapelle, light passes through a painted rod of Moses to fall on the actual rod of Moses kept below, sign and thing fused into one. Professor R. Howard Bloch reads the north side's Old Testament cycle, from the Genesis window with Adam, Eve, and Joseph to the Exodus window where God bestows the rod on Moses. Because that rod was held among the chapel's relics, Bloch uses it to explain Augustine's idea of the sacrament as a fusion of sign and thing that abolishes time. The cycle continues through Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua's trumpet-blast at Jericho. Chapters: 00:00 The Genesis window 01:05 The Exodus window and the rod of Moses 02:26 When the sign fuses with the thing 03:27 Joshua and the fall of Jericho Learning objectives: After watching, you'll be able to: - Describe the Genesis and Exodus windows on the north side - Explain the significance of light passing through the painted rod of Moses - Connect the image to Augustine's idea of the sacrament - Trace the Old Testament cycle through Joshua 📚 About the Course: An introduction to some of the most astonishing architectural monuments the world has ever known: the Gothic cathedrals of medieval France.

Kings and queens are crowned again and again across the south windows of the Sainte-Chapelle, all of it circling back to the crown of thorns that crowns the crown of France. Professor R. Howard Bloch begins with the window of relics, Louis's signature piece showing him carrying and worshiping the relics, then the books of Kings, Esther, Judith, Job, and Tobias. The recurring theme is coronation, from Moses and Joshua to Esther, making French royalty heir to the biblical kings. He closes on the western rose of Revelation, a later window in pale, flamboyant glass. Chapters: 00:00 The window of relics 00:43 Kings and the story of Esther 02:40 Judith, Job, and Tobias 03:20 A program of coronation 04:23 The western rose Learning objectives: After watching, you'll be able to: - Explain the window of relics as Louis's signature piece - Identify the Old Testament books depicted on the south side - Interpret the recurring theme of coronation in the windows - Contrast the later western rose with the 13th-century glass 📚 About the Course: An introduction to some of the most astonishing architectural monuments the world has ever known: the Gothic cathedrals of medieval France.

To turn a dead king into a saint, you need eyewitnesses, and Jean de Joinville spends his Life of Saint Louis insisting, again and again, that he was actually there. Professor R. Howard Bloch introduces Joinville's biography as a saint's life written for canonization, tied to a papal inquiry into Louis's virtues and miracles. He shows how Joinville leans on the authority of eyewitness testimony and vivid, unflattering detail, down to the king's camp illness, to guarantee the truth of his account, blurring the line between relic and reliable history. Chapters: 00:00 Paris as a new Jerusalem 01:24 Joinville's Life of Saint Louis 02:06 A life written for canonization 04:54 The importance of eyewitness 05:45 Details as proof Learning objectives: After watching, you'll be able to: - Explain the genre of a saint's life written for canonization - Describe the papal inquiry into Louis's worthiness - Analyze how Joinville uses eyewitness testimony as authority - Interpret the role of vivid detail in guaranteeing truth 📚 About the Course: An introduction to some of the most astonishing architectural monuments the world has ever known: the Gothic cathedrals of medieval France.

The church made Louis a confessor, not a martyr, and Joinville spends much of his biography quietly arguing that the ruling was wrong. Professor R. Howard Bloch explains the medieval distinction between a confessor, worthy of sainthood, and a martyr, who dies for the faith. Louis was canonized only as a confessor, but Joinville, writing at a royal patron's request, builds a case that the king's years of suffering on crusade, his devotion to the cross, and his willingness to die made him a martyr in all but name. Chapters: 00:00 Confessor versus martyr 01:33 Joinville argues for martyrdom 02:44 Suffering on crusade Learning objectives: After watching, you'll be able to: - Distinguish a confessor saint from a martyr saint - Explain why Louis was canonized only as a confessor - Describe how Joinville argues for martyr status - Connect Louis's suffering on crusade to the image of Christ 📚 About the Course: An introduction to some of the most astonishing architectural monuments the world has ever known: the Gothic cathedrals of medieval France. Through the art, literature, intellectual life, economics, and new social arrangements that arose in the shadow of the cathedrals, you will explore the revival of cities in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and come to a richer appreciation of the High Middle Ages, a world that is still recognizably our own.

Saint Louis was famous for sitting beneath an oak tree at Vincennes, hearing any subject's case in person, rich or poor alike. Professor R. Howard Bloch surveys the virtues Joinville attributes to Louis: honesty (he refused to cheat even the Saracens), moderation, humility, and the ideal of the preudomme, both brave and wise. Louis prized reasoned debate and supported the young Sorbonne, though not, Bloch notes, when it came to Jews, whom he treated harshly. Above all he stood for justice, outlawing trial by combat in favor of inquest and reforming the courts. Chapters: 00:00 A king who keeps his word 01:14 Moderation and humility 02:35 The ideal of the preudomme 03:00 Debate, except with Jews 04:16 Reading, teaching, and peacemaking 05:31 An advocate of justice 06:13 Justice under the oak at Vincennes 08:37 Blanche's advice and charity Learning objectives: After watching, you'll be able to: - Describe the personal virtues Joinville attributes to Louis - Explain the ideal of the preudomme - Assess Louis's stance toward debate, the university, and the Jews - Summarize his judicial reforms and ideal of fairness 📚 About the Course: An introduction to some of the most astonishing architectural monuments the world has ever known: the Gothic cathedrals of medieval France.

At Damietta, Saint Louis leapt from his boat in full armor, the water up to his armpits, and waded ashore to fight, refusing every safer option. Professor R. Howard Bloch traces Louis's crusading career through Joinville, from his piety and the secret staircase meetings with Queen Margaret under Blanche of Castile's watchful eye, to taking the cross after a near-fatal illness. He recounts the disaster at Al Mansura, Louis's capture and ransom, and the king's stubborn decision to stay in the Holy Land rather than abandon it, all of it building the case for his sanctity. Chapters: 00:00 The king who became a relic 01:07 Louis's piety 01:30 Louis and Margaret under surveillance 03:33 Taking the cross 04:25 A brave king 05:29 Leaping into the sea at Damietta 06:48 The battle of Al Mansura 08:29 Captured, then choosing to stay Learning objectives: After watching, you'll be able to: - Describe Louis's piety as portrayed by Joinville - Explain the tension between Louis, Margaret, and Blanche of Castile - Summarize the events of the seventh crusade and Louis's capture - Interpret Louis's refusal to abandon the Holy Land 📚 About the Course: An introduction to some of the most astonishing architectural monuments the world has ever known: the Gothic cathedrals of medieval France.

Louis owned the largest relic collection in the world, yet it was never enough. He wanted to experience the Passion himself, in the very place it happened. Professor R. Howard Bloch shows how Joinville catalogs four moments when Louis risked his life, all to demonstrate that he suffered like a martyr. He reads Louis's crusade as a search for authenticity: since the ultimate relic, Christ's body, could never be possessed, Louis traveled to Jerusalem to live the New Testament first-hand, even bathing in the Jordan where Christ was baptized. Chapters: 00:00 Building the case for martyrdom 00:37 Four times Louis risked his life 02:12 A search for authenticity 03:14 Experiencing the Passion firsthand Learning objectives: After watching, you'll be able to: - Explain how Joinville frames Louis as a suffering martyr - Identify the occasions on which Louis risked his life - Interpret Louis's crusade as a search for authentic experience - Connect the pull of relics to the desire to experience the Passion 📚 About the Course: An introduction to some of the most astonishing architectural monuments the world has ever known: the Gothic cathedrals of medieval France.

The greatest relic collector of the Middle Ages got the ending he wanted: after his death, Saint Louis's own boiled bones were divided up and began to work miracles. Professor R. Howard Bloch describes how Louis's body was split among Sicily, Saint-Denis, the Sainte-Chapelle, and Notre-Dame, then recounts several of the 65 documented miracles of healing at his tomb, cures of paralysis and disease investigated in a serious canonical inquiry. He closes on the long arc from medieval faith to Renaissance skepticism, when the aura of relics migrated into the work of art itself. Chapters: 00:00 Louis wanted to be a relic 00:52 The king's body divided and distributed 01:29 The cure of Emmelot 03:07 The cure of little Jenny 05:34 The cure of Gile 07:36 Miracles on trial 08:14 From relic to work of art Learning objectives: After watching, you'll be able to: - Explain how Louis's remains were divided after his death - Summarize examples of the miracles attributed to his relics - Describe the canonical inquiry that examined the miracles - Trace how relic-belief gave way to art in later centuries 📚 About the Course: An introduction to some of the most astonishing architectural monuments the world has ever known: the Gothic cathedrals of medieval France.

The cathedrals we visit today are survivors of revolution, fire, and war, and much of what we see was reimagined by a single 19th-century restorer who carved his own face into Notre-Dame. In the final lecture, Professor R. Howard Bloch traces the long history of Gothic cathedrals from their medieval construction through the destruction of the Revolution, decades of neglect, natural disasters, and the bombardments of two world wars. He centers on Eugene-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc, whose restorations of Vezelay, Carcassonne, the Sainte-Chapelle, and Notre-Dame saved the buildings while taking real liberties, including the famous modern gargoyles. The cathedrals endure as living monuments of a medieval world still recognizably our own. Chapters: 00:00 A history of destruction and restoration 01:15 The Revolution's damage 03:07 Neglect and natural disasters 04:11 Fire and the damage of war 05:26 Viollet-le-Duc, the great restorer 07:41 What "restoration" means 08:11 Restoring Notre-Dame 11:16 The modern gargoyles 12:49 The restorer's signature 15:09 Cathedrals in our own age Learning objectives: After watching, you'll be able to: - Summarize the main causes of damage to cathedrals since the Middle Ages - Describe Viollet-le-Duc's major restoration projects - Explain his definition of "restoration" and its controversies - Assess how restorers shaped the cathedrals we see today - Reflect on the changing function of cathedrals into the present 📚 About the Course: An introduction to some of the most astonishing architectural monuments the world has ever known: the Gothic cathedrals of medieval France.

Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-desc-yt We look at the life and legacy of Dominican American historian, activist and prison abolitionist Dr. Johanna Fernández, who died on July 30 after a long battle with cancer. She was 55 years old. As a professor of history at Baruch College and the CUNY Graduate Center, Fernández was a leading scholar of the Young Lords, the radical 1960s civil rights organization founded in Chicago and New York and modeled on the Black Panthers. Fernández also created the Latinx Freedom Movement Archive and Exhibition Project, alongside historian Felipe Hinojosa. The exhibition is currently on view at The Shed in New York City, as well as in Chicago and Los Angeles. Iterations will also be presented in Houston and Washington, D.C.

Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-desc-yt Todd Blanche’s nomination for attorney general cleared a major hurdle this week after two Republican senators who had raised concerns agreed to back him. Blanche gave written assurances that a $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund” designed to pay Trump allies would not be resurrected, and that a settlement between Trump and the Internal Revenue Service only gave the president retroactive immunity from audits rather than perpetual protection. The Senate Judiciary Committee votes on Blanche’s nomination Tuesday, with the full Senate expected to vote later in the week. Blanche, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney and acting attorney general since April, has been central in many of the administration’s most controversial episodes, including prosecutions of Trump opponents and the botched rollout of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. If confirmed, Blanche would entrench a culture of corruption at the Justice Department, warns legal expert Norm Eisen. “There have been a series of offenses against the rule of law, miscarriages of justice,” he tells Democracy Now! Eisen is co-founder and executive chair of Democracy Defenders Fund. He previously served as White House special counsel for ethics and government reform in the Obama administration. The Justice Department recently dropped charges against his client, former Olympic athlete Davey Hearn, who had been accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

Nadat tienduizenden migranten afgelopen weekend de Spaanse exclave Ceuta bestormden, kreeg Spanje de volle laag van andere EU-landen. Leiders van onder andere Italië, Denemarken en Finland vreesden dat de migranten via het Schengen-verdrag naar het Europese vasteland zouden doorreizen. Ze dreigden zelfs de Schengen-samenwerking met Spanje op te zeggen. Hun vrees bleek ongegrond: niet één migrant is doorgereisd naar het Europese vasteland.  Later kwamen verschillende EU-landen en ook Commissievoorzitter Ursula von der Leyen terug op hun felle woorden. "Nu moeten ze de schade beperken." #Ceuta #Marokko #Spanje #EU

In a new paper, a group of researchers have tried to cut through the weirdness by analyzing how causal order really works. By doing so, they hope to set up a deeper framework that can combine quantum mechanics with gravity.

But the deeper we look, the more the universe reveals a hidden barrier between our Solar System and everything else around it. From the vast empty space, to the laws of physics themselves, there are many reasons why the dream of space travel might stay just a dream. What is stopping us from reaching the stars?

Join my Wine With Jimmy Club for the complete Mastering Spain series, regional wine deep-dives, tasting notes, food and wine recommendations, interviews and exclusive wine education videos: https://e-learningwine.winewithjimmy.com/program/wwj-club In this episode of Mastering Spain, I follow the development of wine in Castilla y León from the ancient Vaccaei and Roman viticulture through the Reconquista, the Camino de Santiago and the rise of modern Spanish fine wine.

I also explore the historic wines of Toro and Rueda, the foundation of Vega Sicilia, the arrival of phylloxera and the producers who helped bring Tempranillo, Bierzo and Mencía to international attention.
