Brother Cadfael

word looked up :


	Brother Cadfael Brother Cadfael is a fictional character, the detective in a series of murder mysteries by Edith Pargeter writing under the name "Ellis Peters." Cadfael is a Benedictine monk, the herbalist at an abbey in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England, near the Welsh border. Cadfael himself is of Welsh extraction. The stories are set between about 1135 and about 1145, during the civil war between the forces of King Stephen and Empress Maud. Cadfael became a monk in middle age, after going on Crusade, and is more familiar with the secular world than most of his brother monks. In addition, his personality more reflects modern attitudes and ethics than his own time which often puts him in conflict with his brethen on matters of justice and conscience.
