To the reviewer who impuned Suzannah Lipscomb's quality as a presenter on matters of history, I suggest they look upon her CV and weep. Her doctorate in medieval French history from Oxford is just the start. At one point we see her reading from contemporaneous primary documents written in French, translating on the fly as she did so. Staged? I suppose, but why bother? She is the real deal. I only wish she was better mic'd when she was bundled up out in the field. Her speech was so muffled that I often had to run captions to follow her comfortably. I loved how much she openly enjoyed encountering details that gave glimpses into everyday life of people during the era. The ways that she provided context for those details through conversations with local experts and fellow academicians, was delightful.
