Medieval August

This month History goes medieval! Four extraordinary premieres take you closer to amazing medieval reality than ever before..

Britain's Wicca Man
Historian and leading expert in Pagan studies, Professor Ronald Hutton, explores the unlikely origins of modern pagan witchcraft and experiences first hand its growing influence throughout Britain today.

Tony Robinson's Gods & Monsters
Tony Robinson delves back through 2,000 years of history to investigate the beliefs of our ancestors. From the brutal human sacrifices of Iron Age Britain, through the stomach–churning supernatural medicine of the middle ages, to the horrifying witch–hunts and exorcisms of the 16th and 17th centuries (and beyond), Tony’s remarkable journey takes him to some of the darkest moments in our past.

Going Medieval
In this two-hour special historian and weapons expert Mike Loades will take us on a high-energy, action-filled, fact-rich rampage through the medieval world. Along the way Mike will separate myth from reality and find out what it was really like to live, work, and fight through this extraordinary time.

Charlie's Army
Charlie’s Army follows the story of proud Scot, Charlie Allan and his band of bearded, battle-re-enactment, fort-building bikers, who've started their very own 21st Century Scottish clan.

Medieval August is on The History Channel as part of the Quest and History options.
