** In ''One Corpse Too Many'', the murderer [[NeedleInAStackOfNeedles hides his victim among the bodies]] of a rebel garrison who were recently executed; only a man as observant as Cadfael would stop to ask why there are ninety-''five'' corpses laid out for burial instead of ninety-four.
** In ''The Virgin in the Ice'', the murderer drops his victim into a stream ahead of a rapidly-approaching winter storm. By the next day, the corpse is [[HumanPopsicle solidly entombed in ice]], and the heroes have to chip a whole block out of the stream, haul it back to the abbey and wait for it to thaw out.

** Maud is rigorous, obsessive, only charming when she makes a deliberate effort, and never forgets or forgives ''anyone'' who's ever trespassed against her. After Stephen's capture, she makes a triumphant entry into London in the belief that she's finally won the war--then she starts tearing into the city's nobles who failed to come to her aid and promises to make them pay for it--resulting in them rebelling against her and forcing her to flee back to the countryside. When Robert of Gloucester is captured at the next battle, Maud has no choice but to release Stephen and exchange him.

* NotBloodNotFamily: * (Very) briefly happens in "The Confession of Brother Haluin", when it's revealed the half-sister of a family is actually unrelated to them by blood. The head of the family says she's entitled to nothing... before clarifying that she has no family but them and so should stay, blood ties or no.

** Brother Ruald in ''The Potter's Field'' deserted his beautiful wife after being called to become a monk. She was understandably ''furious'' with her husband of fifteen years for leaving her, but Ruald is regarded by most people in a positive light for obeying the call to serve God (which everyone sees as being something he could not have avoided, and he is shown to be genuinely happy as a monk). That said, some characters (the women especially) are very sympathetic towards the wife's predicament, as she was left with nothing and was unable to remarry; Ruald himself eventually admits that, while he could do nothing but obey the call, he treated her unfairly. Mention is also made of a RealLife Welsh saint, [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illtud Illtud]], who forsook his wife in favour of monasticism.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: InUniverse. During the peace summit in ''Brother Cadfael's Penance'', Empress Maud haughtily declares that she is the rightful heir to the throne, as King Henry's only surviving child. Cadfael (Welsh by birth) grumbles to himself that, to be accurate, she is Henry's only surviving ''legitimate'' child; the King left behind at least a score of bastards, including Maud's right-hand man, Earl Robert of Gloucester. Cadfael muses that if Welsh law applied (which allows illegitimate children to inherit their fathers' titles and property), Earl Robert would have a better claim to the throne, and (though no one dares say it aloud) be a more popular candidate than either Stephen or Maud. The nobles of England would have been all too happy to accept him as their new king, and there would have been no civil war at all.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Played with. Some supporting characters reappear in later novels, allowing readers to get a glimpse of how they are faring, while others do not. This is justified, given that the novels are set between 1137 and 1145 [[note]] with one short story going back to 1120, the year Cadfael gave up soldiering to become a monk [[/note]] and the action (mostly) takes place in and around Shrewsbury, with some characters passing through on their way to Wales or other parts of England.
