Cadfael Series Set 3 III 3-Disc Box Set DVD

Medieval England comes marvelously alive in this British Drama! Sir Derek Jacobi (I, Claudius; Gladiator) stars as a 12th-century Benedictine monk, former Crusader, and compassionate man who uses his worldly knowledge and keen intuition to solve baffling and brutal crimes. Based on the best-selling novels by Ellis Peters, the series was a huge hit on PBS's Mystery! Season 3 includes "The Rose Rent," "St. Peter's Fair," and "The Raven in the Foregate." 3 episodes, about 3 ¾ hrs, 3 DVDs. The Rose Rent A beautiful, wealthy widow turns her back on the world to find solace with the church and gives her house over to the abbey for the rent of a single white rose each year. St. Peter's Fair A dispute between Church and State over Fair fees leads to a brawl and the murder of a prominent visiting merchant, supposedly by a townsman. As more bodies are found, Cadfael starts to think the Church/State difference isn't the cause after all. A Morbid Taste for Bones Cadfael and a deputation of monks from Shrewsbury are dispatched to Wales to recover the remains of martyred St. Winifred over the objections of the local lord and residents. The Raven in the Foregate An unpopular Puritanical priest new to Shrewsbury refuses to give a pregnant young girl absolution resulting in her apparent suicide.
