The Road to the Crown - Rising to the Throne in Mediaeval Times

 

Modern rappers and mediaeval kings have more in common than we initially might think: they both have a penchant for flashy jewellery. Just how this is intended to symbolise social status is described in today's episode by the historian Andreas Büttner. In addition, he will explain how historical research works, and how in the Middle Ages a nobleman could be transformed into a king.
