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）。故事改外编自微软同名游戏。公元2552年，因为地球人口太多，人类不得不开始向星际间的殉众多行星移民，以开发新的空间。在某个太空移民组织突然消失后，派去调查此事的舰队仅有一艘战舰返回了基地。从此，外星种族星盟(Covenant)对人类的侵略就拉开了序幕，星盟的科技远远胜过于地球，逼得地球的军队节节败退，最后人类只好准备前往远方未探测过的宇宙寻求一线生机。在探测过程中，指挥官与他的组员被星盟舰队发现并追上。紧急关头，他们发现了Halo，一个巨大的异形环状世界，那里有着一万公里的直径与可呼吸的气体。在这个巨大的具有生命的圆环里，居住着不可思议的生物、奇特的植物、扭曲的地下巢穴、巨大的山脉，以及数不尽的充满怒气的异形。在飞船被击毁之后，部分的人类组员登陆在Halo的表面上开始了一场与星盟的战争……。
