And, royal documentary week continues here at the Royal Correspondent. 🙂 Here is part two of the six part series entitled, Kings and Queens of England: The Middle Ages.
So, it’s documentary week here at The Royal Correspondent — 🙂 — and today I’ll begin with the 2004 documentary entitled, Kings and Queens of England.
This six part series “…covers the 41 kings and queens of England from 1066 to the present…” The first part of the documentary which focuses on the Normans to Magna Carta (1066-1216).
Here is the recent BBC Four documentary entitled, Illuminations: The Private Lives of Medieval Kings. The program tells the story of the Medieval monarchy:
…as preserved through stunning illuminated manuscripts from the British Library’s Royal Manuscripts collection which contains some of the most priceless documents in our national history. Some of these manuscripts were commissioned by the Medieval Kings to burnish their legacies. Others were captured as war booty, and handed down from one dynasty to the next. Together they make up a fascinating record of the role of the king and the role of the country as it became a major power at the heart of Europe.
