169. Eugene III

With Eugene III, we have reached the first Cistercian Pope, and the Cistercians as the first *official* religious order! In his episode, we discuss the recurrent problem of Arnold of Brescia, the Second Crusade, meddling in very complicated royal marriages, and a hardcore resting bitchface.  Also featuring a cameo from the Rex Factor Boys!  JOIN THE PONTIFACTS TOUR OF ITALY: https://tinyurl.com/pontifactstour Support Pontifacts: Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pontifactspod Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/pontifactspodcast  Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/pontifactspod Amazon Wishlist: https://tinyurl.com/pontifactswishlist Notes: Red Hat Chat Book Source: https://archive.org/details/medievalbookofbi00hughuoft/page/n7/mode/2up
