DVD synopsis: For more than 40 years, Terry Jones (Monty Python) has perfected the art of instilling comedic relief into each of his sketches by giving audiences a nuanced perspective of the eras before our time. This spring, Jones separates myth from reality as he unmasks an accurate representation of life in the Middle Ages with Terry Jones’ Medieval Lives. With research, wit and animated medieval paintings, this nine-part series illustrates the stories behind the roles and functions of several key different medieval archetypes.
