Alsatia was the name given to the Whitefriars district in London, East of the Temple, and between Fleet Street and the Thames.
From the 13th to the 17th Century a Carmelite Monastery stood in the area.
The privilege of sanctuary at the Monastery was so much abused that an attempt was made to curtail it and to make it apply to cases of debt only; murderers, cheats, thieves, highwaymen and forgers congregated there, however, and none dated enter Alsatia in the name of the law without the protection of a full company of musketeers. The rebels very often organized themselves under leaders who took high-sounding titles, and their followers made merry' with wine and song.
