Alan, the beadle of the manor of Bampton, had gone out at dusk to seek those who might violate curfew. When, the following morning, he had not returned home, his young wife Matilda had sought out Master Hugh de Singleton, surgeon and bailiff of the manor. Two days later Alans corpse was discovered in the hedge, at the side of the track to St Andrews Chapel. His throat had been torn out his head was half severed from his body and his face, hands and forearms were lacerated with deep scratches. Master Hugh, meeting Hubert the coroner at the scene, listened carefully to the coroners surmise that a wolf had caused the great wound. And yet ... if so, why was there no blood?
