Cadfael: A Morbid Taste For Bones




Saint David may be Wales most renowned Saint, but he is not alone.  Another later Saint is the focus of this episode of the Medieval murder mystery series, featuring the Anglo/Welsh monk/herbalist Cadfael. Though Saint Winifred lived at least a century after Saint David, her story is more tied to Wales' pagan past, with her miracle being a story very a kin to that of the Green Man, which in turn is a version of Lludd Llaw Eraint of Welsh mythology. If you have Amazon prime, you can view the full episode here.
