Sanctuary, a murdered Chaplain and a Concubine

jeudi 5 juin 2025 • Durée 31:30

In this episode of Medieval Murders, we’ll be discussing a case that touches on jealousy, greed, and mercy.

It involves a chaplain, a concubine, and a killer.

We’re right underneath one of modern London’s most famous landmarks, the skyscraper known as the Gherkin.

Hidden in a corner in the shadow of the Gherkin you can find a medieval church called St Helen’s Bishopsgate.

On Saturday 9th June in 1324, a chaplain was found dead in a concubine’s home.

How was he killed and how did his murderers try to escape execution using the ancient law of sanctuary?

A Medieval Midsummer’s Nightmare

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

jeudi 5 juin 2025 • Durée 28:28

In this episode of Medieval Murders, we travel to Oxford in 1306, where a midsummer night of music and merriment takes a deadly turn.

What begins as a celebration by the town’s tailors erupts into bloodshed when a cleric, Gilbert de Foxlee, confronts the revelers with his sword drawn.

But why did he attack them? Was it a noise dispute, a clash of social status, or a zealous attempt to suppress sinful revelry? And why did the tailors switch from initial attempts to deescalate the situation to a collective armed attack?

As we unravel the mysteries of this case, we explore medieval Oxford’s fraught relationship between town and gown, its harsh moral codes, and eerie parallels to modern-day vigilante violence.

Aristocratic Violence: The Conspiracy To Assassinate a Priest

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

jeudi 28 septembre 2023 • Durée 33:05

In this episode, we solve an exceptional murder case that went cold 680 years ago.

It was a cold-blooded mafia-style assassination of John Ford, a man of god – it involved a gang of hitmen who cunningly used another priest to approach the victim in plain daylight – it sheds light on sin and sex, moral zeal, and double standards — it is likely shrouded in corruption and class justice — and, remarkably, the protagonist and mastermind is Ela FitzPayne — an extraordinary lady of the highest ranks in English nobility….

Unless, that is, she was framed in a dark political game between those supporting the new king Edward III and those loyal to his dead father, Edward II.

A Bystander Intervenes: The Death of a Thief

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

mercredi 27 septembre 2023 • Durée 32:55

In this episode, we explore the case of Copin King. Together with a companion he accosted a street vendor for his costard apples on a cold February night in 1301. Thomas Brewer, who happens to there, intervenes in defence of the street vendor — an argument escalates and Thomas Brewer eventually kills Copin with his long fighting staff known as Balgstaff.

But why do humans – today as well as in the Middle Ages – intervene to help complete strangers? What moral obligation do they feel? And how do they decide whether to intervene or walk on?
