Drinking in Medieval England

(Lesley) Imagine hiring a man to kill off your enemy... and then pleading a defense that would allow you to walk out free.

Their responses would ultimately change the laws of England in order to prevent a man from getting away with murder.<a href="http://www.footnotinghistory.com/uploads/1/6/5/2/16521246/9mar2013_-_cruel_mind_and_deadly_malice.mp3"> </a>
