Beaulieu Abbey Trial and Flight of a Novice
In a grim trial at Beau lieu Abbey 1366 Brother John of Hordle faces charges of excessive drinking, disobedience, assault, and a public scandal with a maiden. The Abbot convicts him of treachery, strips him of the monastic robe, and orders his expulsion into the world. A younger lay visitor consoles the Abbot as Alleyne Edrickson prepares to depart toward a dangerous outside life guided by faith.
