A segment from an eight volume series (with 2 parts each) exploring the history of Britain up to the 20th century. Dynasty (Pt.3): The great Norman dynasty tears itself apart as cousins fight over who should be king. Out of their bloody struggle emerges a new dynasty as well as three of the most famous kings: Henry II, Richard I and John. At the heart of this medieval history lies the relationship between church and state, most notably represented by Thomas Becket and Henry II. Nations (Pt.4): In the 13th century, the people of Britain found their voice: proud and nationalistic, developed as a response to the subjugation in the campaigns of Edward I to extend his authority over Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. Out of this attempted hegemony arose the first written expression of nationalism.
