Before 1517, Europe was religiously united, with all states and virtually all subjects acknowledging the Pope as their spiritual leader. This drama documentary, presented by Tristram Hunt, charts the start of the English Civil War, the execution of the King and the birth of parliamentary democracy. Reformation and Counter-Reformation Europe provide the backdrop against which the civil wars of 1640’s were played out.
