Welcome to Medieval Murders, the podcast that delves into the world of violent crimes in fourteenth century London. 

In each episode, we tell the story of a single murder case written on a small piece of parchment by the clerk of the coroner of London over six hundred years ago. 

We’ll explore cold cases, examine how people in this time and place tried to keep the peace and show that what looks so foreign at first sight; is more similar to how we act today than one might think...

Medieval Murders is hosted by me Nora Eisner and Manuel Eisner, Wolfson Professor of Criminology at the University of Cambridge and creator of the London Medieval Murder Map.

It’s produced by Steve Hankey and the historical segments are voiced and sound designed by Charlie Inman.

The Music is Cantiga 166  by  Vox Vulgaris.
