I've just noticed that the link I embedded above to YouTube is no longer available. However, should anyone else be interested in the this particular episode (Episode 2), if you do a search "Civilisation The Great Thaw" on YouTube other uploads are available. Cheers. Gerry
Thanks Scruffy1. Yes I agree with you. The Crusades in general were a great mistake in history, to say the very least, and left a negative legacy to this day.
But I am fascinated by the footage, the art history, the scenary. Not sure whether it is this episode or a later one, but he also...
The BBC produced a documentary series called Civilisation which was aired in 1969. In Part 2 of the series, called "The Great Thaw" (embeded here), Kenneth Clark visited the Abbey of Cluny, and other abbeys in France after the Cluniac style.
