‘Murder map’ reveals medieval London’s meanest streets

Fascinating, thanks for posting.
(Some of those streets recorded almost as many murders as Coronation Street in Weatherfield. )

One is listed as "Death among drunk wrestlers".

Well, somebody was bound to get hurt, weren't they? (I'm turning into my mother.)

"Death among drunk wrestlers" sounds like the title of an abstract painting

So only one person was tied up before they were injured....

Not quite as much without the city walls as I would have expected. Nothing shown on the South Bank. Much later that became the haunt of sportsmen - cockfighting, bear bating - of theatres (Globe) and of drinking dens, thieves and their copemen.
