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!
7 of 8 The Outlaw
Is there any truth in the myth that outlaws behaved like Robin Hood and that all sheriffs were evil? Jones reveals that medieval officers were pen-pushing bureaucrats, while the greatest threat to peace came from gangs of upper-crust outlaws terrorising the country to get rich quick.
