Det var ikke kun en periode præget af stridigheder mellem kirken og kongemagten, men også en periode hvor arkitektur, digterkunst og poesi trivedes som aldrig før. I "Middelalderen i Danmark" fortæller Niels-Knud Liebgott om livet, kunsten og litteraturen i middelalderens Danmark fra Harald Blåtand i 900-tallet indførte kristendommen og 550 år frem i tiden.
