观众心声
真实的历史往往比虚构的小说更挑战传统道德和社会法则的底线。漫长的中世纪里，寥寥几个贵族家庭纠集军队、互相倾轧，国家不断濒临内战的边缘：“King”这个词承载了太多，也许羞辱多过荣耀，为国人带来的灾祸胜于富足。在皇权之上，上帝之手隐隐笼罩整个欧洲大陆，王从神的赐予中寻到慰藉，也被人以神的名义不断讨伐。政教合一，看似坚不可摧的联盟成了王室永恒的弱点。讲英国的历史始终越不过法兰西，是虚与委蛇的姻亲，也是不死不休的仇敌，功败垂成，绵延至今。“God is on my side“，有人将此用作借口，而剩下的人将次当做真理，更令人生畏的往往是后者。
亨利二世且不说，这个纪录片算是发掘了后面三位不太为人注意的金雀花国王。
金雀花王朝最精彩了，主持小哥的皮裤十分扎眼:)
Dan Jone 佳作之一
