十九世纪末，泰国为了出口更多的大米开始大面积开垦农田，牛成为了最重要的劳动力，因此一个新的职业悄然兴起——牛仔。这些牛仔靠买卖牛赚取差价，暴利极大。但最近经常有个被称作火云盗的蒙面人打劫牛仔，此人武艺极为高强，他将抢来的牛都分给了贫苦的农民，因此火云盗在老百姓中有口皆碑，而牛仔们则无不谈虎色变。 　　贵族后裔西里贡从英国进口了土地开垦机，昂贵的价格令农民们望尘莫及。为了将机器卖出去牟取暴利，西里贡雇了一批人专门劫杀牛仔，然后将牛卖给屠宰场，这样农民们没有牛自然就会出钱购买开垦机。一时间牛仔们不仅要小心抢牛的火云盗，更要留意随时都可能会让自己丧命的西里贡，真是苦不堪言。 　　火云盗在一次准备打劫牛仔的过程中发现，西里贡那战无不胜的手下被一个名叫狮子的牛仔头领打败，而狮子胸前的纹身吸引了火云盗的注意。多年前一个有着同样纹身的牛仔杀死了火云盗的父母并抢走了...。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）。
