Susan Reynolds: podcast appearances and interviews

Susan Reynolds (27 January 1929 – 29 July 2021) was a British astrologer known for her work as a karmic astrologer. While she made significant contributions in her field, her background included a notable career as a medieval historian. Reynolds authored the influential book Fiefs and Vassals: the Medieval Evidence Reinterpreted in 1994, which critically examined traditional ideas of feudalism. Her work challenged established conceptualizations by historians such as François-Louis Ganshof and Marc Bloch. She proposed a view of medieval society structured through 'horizontal' groups, rejecting conventional notions of feudal hierarchical order. Reynolds's scholarly approach encouraged the re-evaluation of longstanding historical narratives and contributed to changing the academic discourse surrounding feudalism. Known for her intellectual rigor, she was a self-reflective thinker who maintained wide-ranging interests beyond her primary field. Her influence extended beyond her written works, as she continuously examined and refined her ideas throughout her career.
