Saint Louis and the Vigilante Priest
On the way to the crusades, while passing through France, Jean of Joinville came across a pile of bodies being moved on a cart. He was curious to find out the story behind them, and what he learned was a tale of the king’s justice, of adventure, and of a priest who was pushed too far.
The tale had started with three robbers who terrorized the local area, preying on those who used the highways.
One day they had robbed a mild mannered cleric - a priest. They took everything, his money, his possessions, even his pants and shoes, and sent him home wearing nothing but a shirt.
Unfortunately for the robbers, something in the priest snapped.
