This presentation will share some of the findings from Sara's forthcoming book, tentatively titled Justice for Jehanne, Survival Stories from Late Medieval France. Written as a police procedural, it is also a medieval iteration of the timeless tale of a migrant woman from the countryside who struggled to survive in the big city, in this case Dijon towards the end of the Middle Ages. At that particular time, in the second half of the fifteenth century, in the midst of warfare, endemic disease, and political upheaval, Dijon's municipal authorities investigated all manner of crime and other wrongdoing. Women appeared in these investigations most often as victims or as witnesses, but also as accused of theft, violence, sex crimes, insults, and sorcery. Sara's presentation offers an investigation of another kind, one that asks what we can learn from these legal documents about this one woman’s life, but also about the interworkings of gender, religion, and justice in late medieval society.
