里奇（马里奥·卡萨斯 Mario Casas 饰）和母亲之间的关系并不亲密，因为在他十二岁的那一年，他的母亲抛弃了他。里奇的母亲普拉（安吉拉·摩琳娜 Ángela Molina 饰）是一名妓女，和许多地痞流氓都纠缠不清，常在河边走哪有不湿鞋，最终，普拉锒铛入狱。 一晃眼多年过去，普拉的牢狱之灾即将走到尽头，为了庆祝母亲的出狱，里奇给普拉准备了一份大礼——一家名为广岛俱乐部的妓院，这样母亲就不用再抛头露面出卖肉体了。然而，让里奇没有想到的是，见多识广的普拉对于这件妓院无动于衷，不仅如此，里奇还犯了一个大错误，他将妓院建在了残暴的小混混艾尔（卢西亚诺·卡塞雷斯 Luciano Cáceres 饰）的地盘上。。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）。
