Everyone loves a good medieval whodunit, but how did real people investigate homicides in the Middle Ages? What did they look for? And how did they decide if a person's death was an unfortunate accident or foul play? This week, Danièle speaks with Sara Butler about forensic medicine, and how death investigation was conducted in medieval England. Sara Butler is a Professor at The Ohio State University, where her research focuses on social and legal history in the Middle Ages. This conversation is based on her book Forensic Medicine and Death Investigation in Medieval England.
