Terry Jones' Medieval Lives
Terry Jones, a dude from the original Monty Python comedy troupe, makes awesome documentaries. They're hilarious and delightful. These are about what life was really like for medieval people. edit: And for whatever awesome reason, they are apparently country-inspecific (you know the BBC usually tries to deny foreigners knowledge for some reason? You xenophobic bastards! )
