Cambridge mapping project solves a medieval murder

"An interactive digital map created by University of Cambridge criminologist Manuel Eisner visualizes the approximate locations of 142 homicide cases from late medieval London. Expanded to include York and Oxford, this tool offers a unique glimpse into the Byronic era of criminal justice, complete with podcast episodes for deeper exploration. Users can filter killings by decade, weapon type, or location, much like solving an intricate mystery. Each entry is supported by detailed records from Latin coroners' rolls, which provide insights into sudden or suspicious deaths, including where the body was found, who saw it, and how the case was resolved."
