Has anyone seen this series on the Middle Ages from the BBC?
There are four parts:
Medieval Mind--Knowledge
Medieval Mind--Belief
Medieval Mind--Power
Medieval Mind--Sex
Each part is about 58 minutes long. It has the usual modernistic slant to it (from Prof. Robert Bartlett of St. Andrew's University) but contains a lot of fascinating information nonetheless.
I would recommend starting with the Knowledge set. I have not yet watched the part on Medieval Sex, but I did watch Belief and Power yesterday and am in the process of watching Knowledge tonight. Unfortunately, the best YouTube download I found was from someone calling himself EvolvedAtheist, but at least he's good for something, which is posting YouTube videos!
Anyway, if you have four hours to kill, or are fascinated with the Middle Ages as I am, take a look.
Start here and work your way through the other episodes. Each topic has six videos posted.
If you have already seen it, I would like to hear your views.
