Great Courses: Mitos Y Leyenda de Las Edad Media [great Courses: Myths And Legend of The Middle Ages]

Travel to the mystery, drama, and splendor of the Middle Ages—to the times of great royal dynasties, intrepid knights, religious passions, merchant empires, and towering art … Tucked away within the romantic landscapes of Europe, a remarkable range of beautifully preserved medieval cities and towns invites discovery—time capsules of history where you can stroll the cobbled streets of another time; savor the treasures of palaces, stately mansions, soaring cathedrals, and grand civic centers; and walk the mighty bastions and ramparts that once defended them.

Imaginary conversations, based on accurate sources, offer a fascinating and intimate view of four men and four women from medieval times, including St. Augustine, mystical abbess Hildegarde of Bingen, and Christine de Pizan, an early feminist.
