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）。蒙族青年迪鲁瓦非常喜欢金花，但是金花却对汉族青年丁世雄情有独钟，迪鲁瓦因此很妒忌世雄，不久迪鲁瓦的妹妹罗尔姬娜被王府征去服役。抗日战争爆发后，潜伏的日本特务控制了王爷，他化名济克扬假扮喇嘛进行破坏活动，济克扬不断挑拨迪鲁瓦与世雄的关系，但他的阴谋总被金花的哥哥朗桑发现，他恼怒之下把朗桑抓了起来。 罗尔姬娜知道了济克扬的阴谋后告诉了哥哥迪鲁瓦，迪鲁瓦和世雄联手救出了朗桑，他们联合王府中的保安队击毙了日本特务，然而在战斗中金花不幸中弹身亡。。
