Dr Janina Ramirez unlocks the secrets of illuminated manuscripts that were custom-made for kings and explores the medieval world they reveal. Part 1: Ruling by the Book Janina begins her journey with the first Anglo-Saxon rulers to create a united England, encountering books in the British Library's Royal manuscripts collection which are over a thousand years old and a royal family tree which is five metres long. Janina finds out about a king who had a reputation for chasing nuns and reads a book created as a wedding gift for a ten-year-old prince. She roams from Westminster Abbey to other ancient English spiritual sites such as Winchester, St Albans and Malmesbury, and sees for herself how animal skins can be transformed into the finest vellum. Part 2: What a King Should Know Janina shows how medieval manuscripts gave power to the king and united the kingdom in an age of plague, warfare and rebellion, discovers that Edward III used the manuscripts he read as a boy to prepare him for his great victory at the battle of Crecy and reveals how a vigorous new national identity bloomed during the 100 Years War with France. In the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection Dr Ramirez finds out that magnificent manuscripts like the Bedford Hours, taken as war booty from the French royal family, were adapted for the education of English princes. She also explores how knowledge spread through a new form of book - the encyclopaedia. Part 3: Libraries Gave Us Power The story of the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection reaches its end with the last great flowering of illumination, in the magnificent courts of the Tudors. She investigates astrological texts created for Henry VII, and unwraps his will - still in its original, extravagantly-decorated velvet and gold cover. She hears music written for Henry VIII, which went unperformed for centuries| and reads love notes between the king and Anne Boleyn, written in the margins of a prayer book. Nina also visits Bruges, the source of many of the greatest manuscripts, where this medieval art form collided with the artistic innovations of the Renaissance. （转自mvgroup论坛）。20世纪30年代，多灾多难的中华民族进入了最黑暗和痛苦的一段历史时期。狼子野心的日本帝国主义露出贪婪嘴脸，妄图消灭中华民族，侵占大陆。1933年，被人称作“张扒皮”的国民党29军37师师长张自忠（柯俊雄 饰）在长城喜峰口一战成名，随后荣升29军军长。平津一线局势凶险，中央奉行不抵抗政策，任凭日寇如何挑衅29军只能一忍再忍，咬紧牙关。1937年，日寇借口一名士兵失踪而悍然发动了震惊中外的七七事变。战争中29军副军长佟麟阁及师长赵登禹弃身捐国，张自忠则背负骂名担任了北平市的市长。 正所谓“周公恐惧流言日”，一代名将所背负的使命是常人难以想象，而又值得后世子孙永远铭记的……。故事发生在1844年的美国康涅狄格州，出生于贫困之家的米兰达（吉恩·蒂尔尼 Gene Tierney 饰）收到了表哥尼古拉斯（文森特·普莱斯 Vincent Price 饰）的来信，尼古拉斯邀请米兰达去他家，担任他的女儿凯瑟琳（康妮·马歇尔 Connie Marshall 饰）的家庭教师一职。在米兰达的心目中，尼古拉斯一家就是上流社会生活的缩影，于是她愉快的接下了这份工作，动身启程了。 哪知道刚到宅邸没多久，米兰达就听到了有关这里的恐怖传说，不仅如此，不久之后，尼古拉斯的妻子乔安娜（薇薇安·奥斯本 Vivienne Osborne 饰）便离奇去世了。乔安娜去世当晚，尼古拉斯便向米兰达表露了爱意，吓得米兰达退避三舍。此时的她并不知道，自己早已经被卷入了一个可怕的诅咒之中。。
