Apparently the Python troops' interest in Medieval times didn't end with the Holy Grail. Terry Jones (no not the Qur'an burning southern minister, silly!) narrates and writes a number of different historical television specials, some for the BBC. His Medieval Lives(2004) series was nominated for an Emmy for outstanding writing in non-fiction. He has also written books on the subject, including one which paints Chaucer's knight as a less virtuous character, called Chaucer's Knight: Portrait of a Medieval Mercenary. The below clip is from one of Jones' many forays into Medieval history. Watch the clip until the end; no doubt it'll give you "goose bumps."
