The soul that argued its way into heaven/L’arme qui guangna paradis par plait

Today it’s the story of a soul that made such a good argument, that it was allowed into heaven. No obscenity this time (surprise!) but there is some creative understanding of religion. As usual, consume in context. The Court Jester is in reality Kleio Pethainou, a medievalist researching medieval humour. Join me on X (formerly known as twitter) @kpethainou to talk about the stories and follow @thecourtjesterpodcast on Facebook. We can talk about it there, too.If you like what you hear, consider supporting the podcast on Patreon, and you'll get bonus episodes and other good things.
