Today in the Middle Ages


6 June, 1348 - Papal bull of Pope Clement VI which protected Jews during the Black Death.


See, the Middle Ages weren't a backwards time of religious persecution...


Also on 6 June, 1415 - Jan Hus is burned at the stake.


Oh, well maybe there was a little religious persecution. Well one out of two ain't bad.
