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）。一名小孩在无意中见到了刺杀政客的杀手面孔，虽然除了杀手外没有人相信他，但杀手还是对他展开了疯狂追杀。。在海南五指山腹地的热带丛林，人烟稀少，自发现金矿，便涌来许多淘金者，同时也引来了犯罪。“老大”符连荣纠集一帮不法分子和被公安机关通缉的在逃犯，占山为王，购买枪支，私造武器，烧杀抢劫无恶不作，当地老百姓深恶痛绝。公安、武警多次组织围捕，罪犯利用山地矿点丛林掩护逃脱。参谋长陆怀海接受捕歼“老大”任务后，在敌暗我明，罪犯居无定所，行无踪影，没有照片，大部队难以围捕的情况下，派出侦察员林枫，利用收金老板的关系以护矿为掩护，深入罪犯活动的山区矿点侦察。在当地群众的帮助下，林枫与罪犯斗智斗勇，并取得犯罪团伙成员阿龙的信任。了解到犯罪团伙的活动规律和“老大”符连荣的像貌特征，配合部队将以“老大”为首的武装犯罪团伙一网打尽。侦察员林枫荣立一等功。。
