SideQuest - Animated History | The Medieval Black Market for Christian Relics @SideQuestYT | Uploaded February 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Relics were very hot items during the Middle Ages, so much so that they spawned a very profitable (and highly questionable) trade that spanned from England to the Holy Lands... and that's what we'll explore in this episode of SideQuest.
