62. Pelagius I

PONTIFACTS: Ranking the Popes
PONTIFACTS: Ranking the Popes
Episode • Nov 11, 2019 • 58m

We last left Pelagius arrested and imprisoned in a monastery, AND excommunicated, having denounced Pope Vigilius. But thanks to a strong bond with the Emperor Justinian, he still ended up as the next Pope.

In his episode, we'll discuss his many diplomatic roles, more roman sacking, his dramatic efforts to clear his name from scandal, more diptychs, and how Fry says 'picture' weird.
