Prior Robert the ambitious, intelligent monk is maneuvering to succeed mild- mannered Abbott Heribert, looking around to discover an appropriate candidate a long process though, still Wales a separate country then not conquered until 1288 by the English is a fertile ground and Saint Winifred a 7th century woman who established a convent that brought much fame to her is picked. During this era honored saints bones are displayed in churches, abbeys and religious institutions to bring the faithful and they will leave a gratuity, it is the rage, prosperity, fame for anyone fortunate enough to find them, the cults spring up to benefit all they believe. Weeding unwanted plants may seem a tedious work for a man who experienced astonishing events still this is his wish, the tranquil life no problems just live.
