- Synopsis:
In this two-hour H2 special, historian and weapons expert Mike Loades goes medieval, diving deep into the world of the Middle Ages. It is a distinct period in time that conjures up images of knights on horseback, castles, combat and chainmail, and which has played host to countless fictional adventures, from tales of King Arthur and Merlin to Robin Hood and many more. With such well known stories so fresh in our minds, it can be hard to know for sure what is truth and what is fiction. Covering over a thousand years of history, from the fifth to the fifteenth centuries, Mike immerses himself in the medieval world, separating the facts from the myths surrounding this extraordinary time, all the while delivering fascinating fun-filled facts. From living, working and fighting to how to keep a knight's armour shiny using a vigorous rub of sand, vinegar and urine, 'Going Medieval' is an expert account of life during medieval times. - Actors:
