Episode 3 of 4
Duration: 1 hour
Leading authority on the Middle Ages, Professor Robert Bartlett, presents a series which examines the way we thought during Medieval times. Our forebears believed they shared the world with the dead and that angels and demons battled for control of human souls. As the church's grip on our beliefs increased, men and women were dragged before religious courts and multitudes were killed in the name of God.
