历史学家和作家Helen Castor探索生活在欧洲中世纪的人们是如何对待一生中最重要的几个转折点:降生,婚姻,以及去世。
Series in which historian and author Helen Castor explores how the people of the Middle Ages handled the most fundamental moments of transition in life - birth, marriage and death.
In Medieval Lives: Birth, Marriage, Death, historian and author Dr. Helen Castor (She-Wolves: England's Early Queens) examines how the people of the Middle Ages handled three of life's great rites of passage birth, marriage, and death. Why were physicians of no help to women enduring the pains of labor and the dangers of childbirth? Why were newly married couples put to bed by the priest on their wedding night? What did it mean to die well and why was death such a communal affair, both before and after it happened?
A documentary series of 3 episodes that explain the rituals and meaning in the lives of people and the church in the Middle Ages.
第 2 集 A Good Marriage
播出时间:2013年10月17日
Because it was very easy to initiate by simply exchanging words of consent, marriage in the Middle Ages was simple to get into but extremely difficult to get out of. Try as it might to impose its order on the matrimonial free-for-all, the Church found it no easy matter to regulate the most unpredictable of human emotions, love and lust.
第 3 集 A Good Death
播出时间:2013年10月24日
In the medieval world, death was always close at hand, for young and old, rich and poor alike. But rather than seeing death as an end, people thought of it as a doorway to everlasting life, and much of their time and effort in this life was spent getting ready for the next.
