Anne-Marie's Books
A holy relic is brought back from the Holy Land by a crusader knight.
It is meant as a gift for the great abbey of St. Edmundsbury but when it is stolen friends of Aileen and Robert are blamed. Aileen and Robert set out to find the true thief and, in the course of their adventures, they discover a great deal about prejudice and faith.
A Saxon steward to a Norman lord is murdered after bringing an ancient sword to offer at the shrine of St. Edmund in St. Edmundsbury.
Aileen and Robert unintentionally become involved in the investigation. The steward had been a good man, and the people of St. Edmundsbury are fearful that the killer could be one of their own.
The third installment in the St. Edmundsbury Mysteries follows Aileen and Robert, as well as their families and friends, as they search for a stolen embroidery and the answer to a mystery that reaches far beyond the abbey walls. Aileen’s mother may hold the key to identifying the tapestry, but the friends must hurry if they are to solve the mystery before someone gets hurt.
The legendary Bayeux Tapestry, which today hangs in the town which has given it its name, is incomplete. The last panels were torn off the work at some time in history and either hidden or destroyed. Is it possible that the answer to their fate lies in the history of St. Edmundsbury and its abbey?
Do you know how long it took to complete the Domesday Book? Or how the Butter Tower got its name? How about what the smell of sweaty sheep indicated to medieval physicians?
In this collection of 800 questions, which range from easy to diabolical, you’ll get to dive into the interesting and sometimes weird world of the High Middle Ages.
