Ep 174 - More Patron Mailbag, More, More
🕑 Added 2024-07-03 12:00:10 +0000 UTCpatrons, here is your ad-free version of this week's regular episode. we answered questions from Shiloh, dogspotter, dog god, Paul Carraba, Colin Keese, Tichy Ijon, Nem1874, Ollie Cant, Quixotic, and Benjamin Cisko. the next bonus episode, part 3 of The Name of the Rose, will be published next Friday (07/12).
folks, we're back with another patron mailbag episode, as promised. in this one, we answer a bunch of questions ranging from the justifications for predestination, usage of the term "Anglo-Saxon," the culture shock of being a Chinese visitor in Medieval Europe, historical murder rates, and whether Neo-Feudalism is actually a thing or not. check it out, it's a lot of fun and if you want to submit your own, just sign up.
audio note: if you hear a slight buzzing behind Eleanor's audio, that is because she needed to have a fan on in the background during the heat wave. We've done what we can to minimize it but it is what it is. enjoy the show!

I do agree with the point that there is no way we can truly guess what the murder rate would be for medieval towns and cities, but if i think if we look at the actual statistics of American crime stats that it begins to seem more plausible. In regard to the murder rate, if we took the most dangerous city in America in 2019, which was St. Lois with a murder rate of 66.07 murders per 100,000 people, that would mean that a medieval city of 1000 people with the same murder rate would experience one murder every 1.51 years on average. Which is a lot, but not a super crazy amount. A village of 200 would on average expect to experience one murder every 7.57 years. If we drop the murder rate to the third highest city in America in 2019, Detroit at 39.80 per 100,000, a village of 200 would have a murder every 12.56 years on average.
