Crag Duggan is a late 11th century Anglo Celt from Carlisle with a bone to pick with William of Normandy and his ilk. He received a good education from the Church, but lacking much opportunity at home, he wandered south. Finding Norman England less agreeable that it ought to have been, he was restless and passed on to the continent where he sought service as he could, desiring to find his way to Rome. There Urban II was leading sweeping ecclesiastical reform, that would affect all Christendom.
Hearing the Holy Father had come to France for the Council of Clermont, Crag there journeyed and so heard Urban’s appeal to free the Holy Land in 1095 and by 1096 had found his way to Amiens where he heard the holy man Peter and joined the First Crusade. In time he became disenchanted with killing for his Lord, when it seemed to only be for the gain of earthly princes. And the murder of women and children left him conscience stricken.
By 1100 he had found his way back to the northern lands of his birth, becoming a lay brother in a religious community in the Western Isles, as far away from Norman England as he could be. His interest in natural sciences included the rudiments of medicine in his youthful studies and his experiences on Crusade provided him with much practical experience. This made him a useful, if not quite trusted member of the community.
His great joy lay in the writing of the lives of saints and preserving their homilies. He also found comfort in treating the sick in the surrounding villages when they came to the abbey. Thus he could assuage the sadness he felt for the terrible deeds of the Crusade. He had little use for princes and barons who brutally lorded it over God’s children. The poor he loved the best, and with them he shared his faith and his lore in medicine.
