This is one of the best!! - By: Ross, 01 Feb 2008 
I loved this episode of Cadfael. it was very good & the characters are played well. i would recommend that this is worth buying over any other episode of Cadfael, but i am by no means saying the others are not worth it, on the contrary, just buy this one first.

The back cover is fairly accurate:
A great wedding is to take place at the Abby of Shrewsbury between the powerful Baron Huon De Domville & the young & beautiful Iveta De Masssard. But this is no love match. The old, fat Baron is only interestedin Iveta's lands & estates. The orphaned Iveta lives another.
All of Shrewsbury turns out to see the Baron & his bride-to-be ride into town & their differences are immediately noticeable. While the kind-hearted Iveta throws money to the lepers at the side of the road, the Barron strikes out at them with his whip. On the eve of the wedding, the Barron mysteriously rides off alone into the night, & that's the last time he's seen alive. Cadfael sets out to investigate his disappearance.
Naturally the description of this film is simplified & for readers of Ellis Peters' works the film is simplified from the story.
You have to take your hat off to Creeping Gromwell for helping Cadfael solve the mystery.
