	Cadfael - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cadfael is a Benedictine monk and herbalist at Shrewsbury Abbey in Shrewsbury, the county town of the English county of Shropshire.
		Cadfael's son, Olivier de Bretagne, is clearly the ideal knight and paladin - skilled and brave in battle, endlessly resourceful and resilient however difficult the predicament in which he finds himself, generous and chivalrous to the point of risking his life to save an enemy who had just before kept him imprisoned in a dungeon.
		Typically, Cadfael bends his full energy and ingenuity to the double task of solving the mystery and bringing the lovers to a happy reunion, in the second of which he seems the literary descendant of Shakespeare's Friar Lawrence who made great (though unltimately futile) efforts to help Romeo and Juliet.

		Cadfael, the central character of the series, is a Dominican monk and herbalist, and Dereck Jacobi is the perfect personification of him.
		The Cadfael films were shot in Eastern Europe, and early episodes are the best because Peters served as a technical consultant (she died before the filming was completed).
		Cadfael's exploits are generally set in the tumultuous years 1130-1150 when the Empress Maud and her cousin Stephen were fighting for the English throne.

	DVD Times - Cadfael: The Complete Series 2
		Brother Cadfael is a detective series set in the 12th Century, and taking place around Shrewsbury, in the border county of Shropshire, where Wales meets Scotland — allowing for the political struggles of the time to make an appearance in the stories.
		Cadfael himself is a Welshman, now in his 60s, who has become a monk after a colourful life as a Crusader.
		Cadfael was never cutting-edge TV, and yet the 4:3 transfer given here is slightly better than I expected, especially as it's not a current television show and there's some age to the master copies.

	Brother Cadfael: The Potter's Field (US - DVD R1) in Reviews > Video Discs at DVDActive
		The scenes within the abbey show that the monks, while united by their vows to the order, nevertheless were as individual as a person in any profession; Father Abbot is frequently the arbitrator of disputes between the monks, who generally hold radically different views on what to do in any given situation.
		Cadfael is, not surprisingly, the most “modern” of the group, with values that, while not out of line with the possibilities of his time, are still ones that viewers are likely to sympathize with.
		The Cadfael episodes, each running seventy-five minutes long, were originally produced for television, so the 1.33:1 aspect ratio of the image is the original.

	DVD Verdict Review - Cadfael: The Virgin In The Ice
		Cadfael's time on Earth during the 12th Century was a turbulent time of civil war, when Wales stood neutral and apart while England was split into warring camps between the forces of King Stephen and the Empress Maud, both vying to secure the crown of England once and for all.
		He may look nothing like the Cadfael of the novels, but Derek Jacobi has utterly captured the poise, the essential character of the man, who is as passionate about ensuring that evildoers meet justice as he is about his life as a religious man and healer.
		Hard upon the heels of that shock is the news that two children of a supporter of the Empress Maud, Ermina and Yves, were trying to seek shelter from the civil war in the relative peace of Shropshire and they, along with their tutor, are now missing.

		I too was a little hurt that Cadfael's Welsh origins was omitted.
		Cadfael's Welshness was an important aspect of his character.
		Anytime the abbey needed a Welsh translator (they WERE on the borderlands!), or the story required someone who knew both the Welsh and the English psyche intimately, Cadfael was called upon.

		Witty, attractive while comfortably plump, she impresses Cadfael with her veracity, ease with all ranks of men and inevitable administrative skill in her new career of Benedictine nun.
		There is a subtle undercurrent of other-sex awareness on Cadfael's part, which this multi-talented woman cannot fail to notice, but their relationship is quite proper, as they are mature enough to appreciate each other's virtues without desire.
		Brother Cadfael is less in control in this story as the grand daughter of a revered Crusader is nearly married against her will to an aristocrat who ends up murdered.

	Anne K. Kale (editor), Cordially Yours, Brother Cadfael
		Anyone who has had to battle their way through an English term paper probably remembers with dread the research books that they had to wade through, scraping a quote here and an inference there, then helplessly staring at how much white space was left on the page.
		Carol A. Mylod's essay "Fathers in the Chronicles of Brother Cadfael" looks at how Ellis Peters depicts fathers and father figures in the series, both good and bad; her language is reasonably clear and straightforward.
		Anne K. Kaler's essay, "Saints, Lepers, Beggars, and Pilgrims of Brother Cadfael," manages to avoid the weight of that long title, delivering an critical examination of "the four stages of hospital care in the early middle ages" before turning to look at how those are used in the Cadfael stories.

		And one of the fascinations for me with Cadfael as a whole is that this mystery series doesn't rely on forensic evidence.
		Cadfael is supposed to speak fluent Welsh himself, but there was very little Welshness about him when we did it.
		She was very cultured, and when she talked about Cadfael and his period, it was great to listen to her, because she was a fund of knowledge.

	Brother Cadfael's Herb Garden
		BROTHER CADFAEL, the enthusiastic gardener and herbalist created by Ellis Peters, was renowned for his great knowledge of plants, especially the exotic varieties he had brought back from his extensive travels to the Holy Land and elsewhere.
		The herb garden was his particular domain, and as the abbey's apothecary and healer he was often to be found tending the plants there, or brewing up potions in his workshop.
		It describes Cadfael's work as a healer, one of his duties being to supply medicines for the infirmary, and traces a typical year in the life of this devoted herbalist.
