32. Special Episode! Peter Konieczny from Medievalists.net Explains Con Artists in Medieval London

True Crime Medieval

It's a Special Episode! Peter Konieczny joins us, to share his knowledge and stories about frauds in medieval London.  A fake Earl's son, who needs you to help a lot, really, no kidding. Fake government inspectors who need you to hand over the ale so they can test it, bye-bye. Bakers who steal bits of your dough so as to make extra loaves and shortchange you. Merchants who put dirt in cinnamon. London's a scary place. Many thanks to Peter and medievalists.net.
