Synopsis
Leading authority on the Middle Ages, Professor Robert Bartlett, presents a series which examines the way we thought during medieval times.
To our forebears, the world could appear mysterious and even enchanted, with sightings of green men, dog heads, and alien beings commonplace. But as the Middle Ages grew to a close, it became a place to be mastered, even exploited.
