    It is about 8am, on the morning of the 23rd of January 1483. Anselm Adornes, a member of that famous family from Bruges, is having breakfast in the guest hall of a Scottish monastery. A small army of men gathers outside hell-bent on doing him harm. Wanting to protect the nuns, Anselm decides to step outside and reason with the men. A decision that will cost him his life.
    Pilgrim, merchant, humanist, knight, diplomat, renaissance man, Anselm Adornes was many things, but what was a Flemish merchant doing in Scotland and why was he murdered? Welcome to Medieval Madness.

    If I could hop in a time machine, I would absolutely go wander around one of those Flemish cloth fares… mell maybe I’d link up with a merchant and do the whole circuit. Medieval textiles are a delight. I wish we had more remnants left from that time. Frankly, it’s a testament to the quality and skill of the 13th century hands that spun and wove that cloth. Todays’s fabrics can barely make it through two washings without breaking down. Yet, we somehow have managed to hang on to natural fiber textiles made over half a millennia ago. Just incredible.

    I first learned about Anselm Adorn (his name in Scotland) by reading Scottish author Dorothy Dunnett’s excellent The House of Niccolo” series. Adorn plays a major part in most of the books. I highly recommend them. It was great to learn more about this fascinating and overlooked Medieval/Renaissance figure. Thank you!

    My wife and I had the pleasure of visiting the Jerusalem Church in Bruges several years ago. It is out of the way of tourist traps and is a quiet place to visit. One of the most intriguing artifacts is a cross of gold, with ornate jewels. In the middle of the cross, a piece of wood is affixed. It is the only piece of wood claimed to have come from the cross of Christ that even the most ardent denier cannot disprove. If you ever find yourself in Bruges, please take the time to find it. The church is a special place, with a rich history.

    But... The Holy Sepulchre is not pronounced Seh-pull-cher, it is pronounced Seh-pull-ker. A small thing, but as it was the focus of the religious imagination of all of Medieval Europe during the crusades, it is worth getting the pronunciation correct.
    Also, it is important to understand the difference between Cal-vary and Cav-alry. Jesus wasn't crucified on horseback, after all.
