The Killer Friar A Friar is a man of God. A man of whom is supposed to help God’s loving children and followers and a man whom is supposed to know what is best when it comes to being asked for advice.

Before reading Julie Kerr’s examination into the curious, and perilous dangers that were faced within monastic wall, it would be natural to assume that this is a topic that needs no investigation. This presumption is quickly overturned within the brief, but completely entertaining, Health and Safety in the Medieval Monasteries of Britain. Kerr dives into the world of these monks, and gives us a small glimpse into the many hazards that they faced throughout their work. Not only does Kerr’s work give an amusing look into the incidences and accidents within monastic life, but also demonstrated the fragility of life within Medieval Britain regardless of vocation. Kerr divides these into categories of discussion such as, incidents of self-affliction, construction accidents, and simple missteps, but all show that within Medieval Britain, there were many dangers outside of the routinely researched plagues and epidemics.

Confession of a Friar: Laurence’s Guilt in Romeo and Juliet. Greek philosopher, Sophocles, once said, “No enemy is worse than bad advice.” This quote is true in Romeo and Juliet’s case, two young lovers from William Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet.

Romeo and Juliet (Shakespeare) was a very influential story during the time period that Shakespeare wrote it. Shakespeare wanted to give each person in this story their own messy and different life, just like Romeo and Juliet. All of these characters mixed together, are part of the reason why the two lovers decided to kill themselves. Two characters in particular were Friar Lawrence and the Nurse.

To take her in his arms for all the night.” (Chaucer 314-316). Monks are supposed to be poor and help out the religious community.

‘The Beggars Summons’ is a document which appeared pinned to the doors of religious establishments- , particularly friaries. The text appeared starting from the 1st of January 1559, although it was 1558 in consonance with the ‘old reckoning’ as it was not until 1600 that the year began on the 1st of January, previously it commenced on the 25th March. The author is unknown, with the document supposedly written by ‘The blynd, cruked, bedrellles, wedowis, orphelingis, and all uther pure’ or in modern English: ‘The blind, crooked, lame, widows, orphans and all other poor’ (Brown, p. 41). It is, however, given the relative eloquence of the document doubtful that these are the actual authors of ‘The Beggars Summons’, as will be discussed later in greater depth. Just as gauging the actual author of the document is difficult, it is equally problematic to know it’s real purpose.

Medieval Europe changed significantly during the tenth and eleventh centuries. The economy underwent a transformation through specialized jobs, job responsibilities, technology, and the development of towns and cities.
