The Pazzi Conspiracy

Hello and welcome to Medieval Murder, the podcast that brings all things gruesome and historical to the comfort of your own home or car or wherever it is you’re listening from. My name is Hannah Purtymun and I’m here with my father Kevin Purtymun to discuss some of the most famous and infamous murders that took place in the Medieval and Early Modern periods.

Medieval Murder came to be, first as a blog, then as an instagram and now as a podcast after I finished my master’s dissertation on homicide in early medieval England. The podcast will feature some of the most famous murders in medieval history, some mini-episode series on different types of medieval murders and interviews with historians and history enthusiasts alike.

Apologies for the long wait between podcast episodes, I started a Master’s of Library and Information Science and have been busy with my full-time job as well. But, we have a packed schedule for the next several weeks! Today we will be talking about the Pazzi Conspiracy in Florence, Italy.
