The Sanctuary Sparrow

The Sanctuary Sparrow (1983) Ellis Peters (Chronicles of Brother Cadfael #7)

Set in Shropshire England in 1140

“If the law itself were here, there is no power can now take away this man from the sanctuary he has sought. You should know the right of it as well as I, and the peril, body and soul, to any who dare to breach that sanctuary. Go, take the pollution of your violence out of this holy place. We have duties here which your presence in hatred defiles. Go! Out!”
