Episode #49

 

 

Welcome to another episode of Saturday Cappuccino with the Saints and this week, I hope you are thirsty, because we are covering Saint Arnulf of Metz today.

 

Saint Arnulf of Metz stands at the crossroads of legend, politics, and faith — a man whose life helped shape the destiny of medieval Europe. Once known as Dux Metensis, the Duke of Metz, Arnulf walked away from power, embraced a life of holiness, and became one of the most influential figures in the rise of the Carolingian dynasty.

This episode explores:

  • Arnulf’s rise as a noble commander in the Frankish kingdom
  • His transformation from political strategist to bishop and spiritual leader
  • The legendary “beer miracle” that made him the patron saint of brewers
  • His role in the foundations of the Carolingian line — leading to Pepin the Short and Charlemagne
  • The world of Austrasia, Metz, and the Merovingian court
  • How one man’s humility reshaped the future of Europe

This week we bring to life the world of early medieval Francia — where saints, kings, and warriors walked the same stone corridors.   And by the end of the episode, you will definitely want to raise a cold frosty one as a toast to Saint Arnulf. 

 

You won’t want to miss it!
