If you need me within the next 72 hours I will be here, in this medieval murder map. "Users can click through the back stories of more than 300 murders in the English cities of London, York and Oxford. Entries are searchable by gender, day of the week and even weapon (pole-axe or crossbow?)"

Discovered this project today thanks to a Dutch radio show. This is a fabulous project and also makes me think that classical Athens and Rome deserve their own murder maps? AncientBlueSky 🏺https://medievalmurdermap.co.uk/

Hello! I have just joined Bluesky thanks @sebfalk.bsky.social. I am a historical criminologist, working on crime and criminal justice from 1300 to present. Particularly interested in changing legal and social perspectives on violence, and how they intersect with gender, race, and class.

Have spent way to much time on @medimurdermaps.bsky.social this morning imagining dudes in hose and liripipe hoods scampering around whipping out bows and arrows to settle disputes down the pub.

1) Mapping homicides using 14thC coroners' rolls. Check out Maps for London, York, & Oxford medievalmurdermap.co.uk 2) The role of women in 19thC working-class communities on family planning, and their relationship with male medical practitioners. Great idea, thanks @glexareen.bsky.social

Bluesky academics, let's get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren't working on but keep thinking about. Here's mine: - Whether we can have statehood without inhabitable land. - The legal-philosophical symbolism in Wagner's Ring.
