What privileges in did Medieval monks have?

Monks belonged to the Church and were subject to Canon Law, not the King's law. This meant that if they committed a very serious crime they could only be tried by a bishop and the penalty did not include death - in practice, monks would not normally be tried at all but punished within their monastic community by the head of the monastery. Otherwise they were "privileged" by having regular meals guaranteed every day, a place to sleep, an education, a life away from the sins and temptations of the world and less chance of becoming sick - and a dedicated infirmary to look after them if they did become ill. This infirmary was also a place for them to be cared for in old age.

Who does a monk get looked after in an infirmary?

Monastic infirmaries were intended to care for sick and elderly monks, much like a mix of modern old peoples' homes and hospitals. One of the brother monks would be appointed as permanent infirmarer; he would be assisted by other monks on a rota basis (often a weekly rotation).Care was always twofold: care for the body and mind and care for the soul. The body could be treated with herbal remedies, including ointments, salves, rubbing oils and potions. The soul was treated with regular prayer and by following the monastic offices (daily services) as much as possible - the infirmary had its own chapel for this purpose.Fresh air and sweet music were considered helpful for the sick; an infirmary would often have its own garden or cloister for patients to enjoy the sunshine. Music would be limited to the much more gentle sounds of the harp or the plucked psaltery (see link below).In the 9th century plan of the St Galen monastery (an "idealised" monastic layout that was never built), the infirmary has its own small church and is placed very close to the Abbot's lodgings - this reflects chapter 36 of the Rule of St Benedict, which states "But let the Abbot exercise the utmost care that the sick are not neglected . . .". He would normally visit the infirmary every day to ensure that everyone was being cared for in every way.
