Why does nobody ever mention King Louis the First & Last? & of course those key questions: which monks were forbidden the delights of donning underpants...and did outlaws never wear trousers? Terry Jones & Alan Ereira are your guides to this most misrepresented & misunderstood period & they point you to things that will surprise & provoke. Did you know for example that medieval people didnt think the world was flat? That was a total fabrication by an American journalist in the 19th century.
