The Monk was, of course, not a real monk. He was a Time Lord from Gallifrey, from some fifty years ahead of The Doctor in their timeline. He was a Renegade, breaking all of the rules that say their kind are not allowed to interfere in history. The Monk had decided that Europe would be better off if the Normans had not won the Battle of Hastings and set out to interfere with history. The Doctor insisted he could not do that.

 

The Doctor defeated his plan and stranded him in 1066 in Northumberland by taking the dimension chip from his TARDIS and reducing the console room to the size of a doll’s house. Later, however, the Monk did escape and caused The Doctor some trouble during his fight against the Dalek Masterplan. His fate after that is unknown.
