=== This series provides examples of: ===
 
* [[Amateur Sleuth]]: Cadfael
Line 58:
* [[Karmic Death]]
* [[Literary Allusion Title]]: ''An Excellent Mystery'' (from the Book of Common Prayer).
* [[Luke, You Are My Father]]: In the Cadfael novel ''The Virgin in the Ice'', {{spoiler|Olivier de Bretagne turns out to be Cadfael's son by a woman he loved in his young roving days}}. This has ramifications later in the series, particularly in the final novel.
* [[Moustache De Plume]]
* [[My Master Right or Wrong]] - Olivier to Empress Maude. He is presented as pure and noble for it instead of gray.
Line 65:
* [[New Old Flame]]: Richildis, in the Cadfael novel ''Monk's-Hood''
* [[Origins Episode]]: The short story "A Light on the Road to Woodstock", for Brother Cadfael
* [[Pointy -Haired Boss]]: Prior Robert Pennant in the Cadfael mysteries. In ''Monk's Hood'' when the abbot is demoted it looks like we're going to see a [[Tyrant Takes the Helm]] story, but he is crushed when another man is chosen to be the new abbot.
* [[Seeking Sanctuary]]: ''The Sanctuary Sparrow''.
* [[Stealth Pun]]: The title of ''The Rose Rent'' ostensibly refers to the annual rent of a single white rose paid by the Abbey to the owner of a house. However, it could equally refer to the climactic moment in which the bush from which the roses are taken is deliberately damaged (i.e. "rent") and its defender pays with his life.
Line 76:
* [[Trial By Combat]]
* [[The Uriah Gambit]]
* [[Viewers Areare Morons]]: Some recent American editions change Peters's spelling of Celtic and Norman names, apparently because the publishers think readers are morons. The worst: changing '''Olivier''' de Bretagne into '''Oliver'''.
