The Miracle of Brother Jucundus |WyrdLore

Welcome back to WyrdLore, our bonus series dedicated to the strange tales, local legends, and folklore that are just too "Wyrd" for the main show.In this episode, Andy and Craig travel to 15th-century York to uncover a tale from the Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould’s Yorkshire Oddities, Incidents and Strange Events. We meet Brother Jucundus, a monk who joined St Leonard’s Priory during a particularly bad hangover and spent the rest of his life trying to drink his way back out of it.After a "jollification" at the York Fair involving a see-saw and a very public arrest, Jucundus faces the ultimate medieval punishment: being walled up alive. But a lucky tumble through a thin wall and a year of forced silence in the Abbey next door leads to a "miracle" that even the most devout monk couldn't have predicted.Support the show and join our Discord here: buymeacoffee.com/wyrdwessexBuy our merch here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/saxonforageruk/shop?asc=uWritten by Craig BrooksHosted by Craig Brooks and Andy StevensEdited by Craig BrooksMain theme: NRA-LAB Intro Hosted on Acast.
