As the kings of England and the kings of France fought for possession of the crown of France, The Hundred Years’ War would become the longest and the bloodiest conflict in medieval history, replacing the feudal order with an order of nations and propelling France and England into the modern age. Appearing amidst the splendour of the medieval world, cultural historian Dr Nina Ramirez takes viewers on a journey through 116 years of riotous, plague-ridden warfare, exploring how, as the effects of warfare reverberated in every aspect of artistic, cultural and religious life, The Hundred Years’ War would give birth to two distinctive national identities representing the final divorce between France and England – effects of which can still be seen in rivalries today.
In this first episode, Dr Janina Ramirez explores the medieval Anglo-French conflict. Edward III crushes the flower of French knighthood at the Battle of Crecy.

In this last episode, Henry V has claimed the crown of France for his heirs, but to secure it the English must conquer all of France. Potent French resistance comes in the most unlikely form - an illiterate young peasant girl, Joan of Arc. Dr Janina Ramirez explores the longest and bloodiest divorce in history.

Always strike first and always take revenge. Genghis Khan learnt these lessons the hard way during a violent childhood. Son of a murdered father, Genghis grew up in the unforgiving environment of the Mongolian Steppe. But how did an outcast, raised in poverty, come to be the great Khan? Combining live-action footage shot in Mongolia with CGI software used in Lord of the Rings, the recreation of battle scenes is taken to a new level in presenting the story of how Genghis conquered an empire greater than the Roman Empire at its peak. From the ferocious battle for Beijing to the jealous betrayal by his blood brother, Jamuka, Genghis always demanded victory. Almost 700 years after his death, World War II generals were still using his battle plans. But a dark, almost evil, reputation also exists. He is often portrayed as a psychopath who killed his brother and ordered the death of his best friend. Is it accurate to remember Genghis as a merciless, brutal butcher? Let the historical facts presented in this definitive film help you decide.
