Information

Champion of the Middle Ages and author of several myth-busting books on Medieval England, Terry Jones embarks on a mission to rescue this period from moth-eaten clichés and well-worn platitudes.

In this new series he takes viewers on a voyeuristic rampage through the lives of eight archetypal medieval figures: a knight, a monk, a peasant, a damsel, an outlaw, a king, a philosopher and a minstrel.

Using the very latest research, fantastic locations across Europe and his unrivalled storytelling talents, Jones reveals that, contrary to popular belief, far from being an age of dreariness and servitude, the Middle Ages was a time of splendour and laughter - and that even dental hygiene was better than it is today!

5 of 8 The Knight

Real medieval knights, shining or otherwise, had little interest in rescuing damsels in distress. Terry Jones reveals they were more interested in the less noble pursuits of killing people, making money and being famous.
