The Middle
Ages
In film and in literature, medieval life seems heroic,
entertaining, and romantic. In reality, life in the Middle Ages, a period
that extended from approximately the fifth century to the fifteenth century
in Western Europe, was sometimes all these things, as well as harsh, uncertain,
and often dangerous. The Middle Ages is inspired by programs from The Western
Tradition, a video series in the Annenberg/CPB Multimedia Collection.

lying on a bed with book in hand, was
captivated by the heraldry, chivalry, and the romance of another place
in mind... "
