Part 2/3. At the head of Normandy, the descendants of Rollo built a powerful and organized duchy in Europe; but in 1035, the crown was inherited by an 8-year-old bastard child, William the Conqueror.

A look at industrial, sexual and political revolutions and how, despite pure motives, some still end up on the wrong side of history.

Exploring why, from Liz Taylor to Attila the Hun, pain doesn't stop people from looking for love; how love is a driver of history, costing royalty their heads, generals their victories, and many people their sanity.

Cleopatra Selene, daughter of Cleopatra the Great and Mark Antony, saw her dynasty collapse amid her parents' defeat and suicide; taken to Rome as a prisoner, all looked lost for Selene, but she rose from the embers to marry the African king Juba II.

Cleopatra II, namesake of the great Cleopatra VII, had a reign of incest, murder, rape and mutilation; she wielded great power and would do anything to keep it, and she saw her dynasty torn apart by hatred but also saved it from destruction.

Part 1/3. Thanks to Rollo the Walker, Normandy became one of the most powerful principalities of the kingdom of France; he is one of the most terrible Viking warriors in history and his adventure began 1200 years ago, at the mouth of the Seine.

The dinosaurs and their long reign.

An intimate portrait of this large predatory bird and tracks the birth and coming of age of two Golden Eagle chicks in the High Tatra Mountains.

A journey through time as the glaciers of the Alps are melting down due to climate change, releasing invaluable treasures.

Rutting deer and flirting love birds might be what people think of with animal courtship, but even bugs need to breed, and they face all the same challenges of winning a mate and raising their young.

Bugs are the base of the food chain, food for just about everything else, but to start the process, they too must eat.

It took a long time for vertebrates to take over the land, but once they did, there was no turning back.
