Read The Lion and the Lamb, an original play about Richard I and Philip Augustus by Edith Cortland Lee. This is a wonderful play that takes you far beyond the characterizations of The Lion in Winter. Highly Recommended!

The trivium, or the three roads (in Latin), consists of grammar, rhetoric, and logic. These are the rhetorical, intellectual, and literary exercises that form the lower division of the seven liberal arts. The quadrivium (arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music) comprises the higher.

In the medieval period (and hopefully still today) the study of the liberal arts was intended to promote intellectual development, rather than to gain knowledge of specific subjects, leaving students with the ability to continue their studies independently.
