Henry Veneer-Brooks - Columbanus, and How Ireland Saved Europe in the Dark Ages

On this week’s episode we sit down with documentary film maker & author Henry Vyner-Brooks. Henry is also the host of the ‘Saving Europe’ YouTube channel, where he takes us on a journey across Europe and explores the people who rescued European Civilisation in the Dark Ages & after World War II, people like Columbanus and Robert Schuman. On this episode, we delve into the story of Columbanus, an influential Irish missionary and a key figure in the Christian monastic movement of the early Middle Ages. We explore Bangor Abbey, known at the light of the world in the 6th century, and discuss how Irish intellectuals left a lasting impression on Europe.Remembered if you’re liking the podcast, please subscribe, rate, follow, and share it with others.
