Unfortunate ends : on murder and misadventure in medieval England
Lily, Soren2022
Books
From the creator of Twitter's Medieval Death Bot comes 'Unfortunate Ends', an illuminating collection of in-depth looks at some of the most interesting cases from medieval coroners' rolls. From the bizarre to the mundane, each death tells a tale from a dangerous time to be alive, and even to die. Coroners' rolls list every inquest held for a death by misadventure - or accident - as well as grisly murders, some witnessed by others, some only coming to light when the hidden body was found. A handful of these deaths rise to the top, their tales too ridiculous or heartbreaking to not be spun again for the modern ear.
