An interactive map by the Violence Research Centre at the University of Cambridge shows murder locations in medieval London. Some of the descriptions are hilarious:

• “Innkeeper Stephen of Lynn murdered after winning at backgammon,”
• “Death among drunk wrestlers,” and
• “Vicious attack for dropping eel skins outside a shop.”

Others could be modern-day headlines:

• “Man lies dead in street from fatal stab wound,” or
• “Luton man stabbed in Sunday evening dispute.”
