Monks Hood by Ellis Peters

December 1138. In the Benedictine Abbey of St. Peter and St. Paul in Shrewsbury, Abbot Herbert has been relieved of his position and duties and summoned to London, leaving his ambitious subordinate Prior Robert in charge.
Gervaise Bonel, his family and household have moved into a house owned by the Abbey as part of a deal in which Bonel gave to the Abbey his lands and manor in return for food, clothing and lodging for life.
