Modern History TV, with Jason Kinglsley, CBE, explores the Hereford Mappa Mundi, a vast medieval map offering insight into a 13th-century perspective of the world. The analysis reveals how faith, mythology, and geography intertwined to shape the medieval mind, rather than providing precise navigational accuracy.
How did the medieval person see the world? Geography, mythology and religion are all intertwined in this work of medieval brilliance.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
