Cadfael: "Remember my Lord De Masad. God sees not with the eyes of man. Man only beholds the outward appearance, God looks on the heart."
Lazarus: "And he shall find it here."
Cadfael: "And he shall find it beautiful, as I do."

- Cadfael to Lazarus the Leper(in reality the crusader Lord Gima De Masad), from "The Leper of St. Giles"

A great wedding is to take place at the Abbey of Shrewsbury between the powerful Baron Huon De Domville and the young and beautiful Iveta De Massard.  But this is no love match.  The old fat Baron is only interested in Iveta's lands and estates.  The orphaned Iveta loves another - Joscelyn, (Jonathan Firth) a squire in the employee of the Baron.

On their way to Shrewsbury the kind-hearted Iveta throws coin at the poor lepers at the side of the road.  The Baron however strikes out at them with his whip.

The Abbey bustles with preparations for the wedding of the powerful Baron Huon to a beautiful young woman, but on the eve of the momentous day, the Baron rides off alone and disappears.

A savage killing calls Brother Cadfael from his herbarium, and leads him to the leper house of Saint Giles - a sanctuary for the sick, but also a possible refuge for the hunted man .  A situation bound to intrigue the ever-curious Cadfael.

Cadfael-A good man in an evil world.
