The Hanged Man – Murder, Mystery or Miracle?
A murder mystery walking tour through Medieval Swansea. Come with Friar Maurice as he leads you through the streets of Swansea in 1307….Wales is coming to terms with the conquest of Edward Longshanks just a quarter of a century ago, and many are not overly happy with Norman rule from London. Against this backdrop the Lord of Gower William de Breos has a lot on his hands – rebellious lords beneath him, an impatient king above and a headstrong wife in between. The best way to deal with rebels is to hang them as criminals, but when one of them gets up and walks away – 21 days after he has been declared DEAD – de Breos is really up against it. News reaches the Pope in Avignon – and he sends in his top investigator, Friar Maurice of Pencoed, to discover the truth; but the friar needs your help….
