I love that we're getting digital maps for earlier eras. What stories are set in XIII or XVI London that these might help clarify?
A little while ago I was reading about Galois' death, and it's surprising how much* one can find online: maps taken near 1832 showing both that he didn't have to go far from the Latin Quarter to meet someone in a meadow at dawn, nor did the farmer who eventually brought him to the hospital (time recorded, ~9h30) have to travel far, either. One could probably even use a sunrise calculator to take the date and figure out an upper bound on how long he had been lying in the field.
(this upper bound should be reasonably tight: the point of duelling at dawn is to have it done with before the farmers get to their fields)
We're only missing the chat logs between ViveLaRépublique and Stephanie15 that might explain what he was doing out there in the first place...
* the coroner's report not only contains what we would consider relevant detail about abdominal trauma, but also contains a detailed examination of his brain and skull structure?
