About Inside the Medieval Mind

The show Inside the Medieval Mind ended on May 8, 2008, on BBC Four. It was a four-part series that explored the intellectual landscape of the Middle Ages through different themes. The series concluded its run with the final episode titled Power, which aired on the same day it ended.

Inside the Medieval Mind was a documentary series that examined how people in the medieval period thought about belief, sex, power, and knowledge. Presented by Professor Robert Bartlett of St Andrews University, the series aimed to reveal both the similarities and differences between medieval and modern worlds. It featured visits to historic locations like Westminster Abbey and Pluscarden Abbey, with readings from original medieval sources to bring the era's ideas to life.

The series included four hour-long episodes, each focusing on a different aspect of medieval thought. It was hosted by Robert Bartlett, who served as the presenter.
