Beaulieu Abbey Trial Ends In Brutal Expulsion
A novice named John of Hordle faces a brutal tribunal at Beaulieu Abbey for drunkenness and moral breaches including assault and fornication. The Abbot convicts him of recreance and strips him of his monk’s robes, banishing him from Beaulieu and its estates amid warnings to others. Alleyne Edricson, the Abbot’s ward, prepares to leave for the world, bid farewell, and heads toward Lyndhurst to seek his brother.
