John's story is fascinating but the more its told, the more Emma fades into the background. This genteel and elderly lady, living in the shadow of her mother's Regency glamour, was killed in the most unspeakably brutal way.
And for what? Money? Revenge?
She left £32 in her will.

6/ How much energy was expended on other cases of academic plagiarism, or other misconduct by academics, in cases which didn't concern a prominent black scholar?

🧵Alicia Lewyne was gaoled on suspicion of killing her husband William c.1275. After an inquest it was determined that Robert & Walter de Wylehale accused of her of the homicide because they were in a legal battle with her father over some land. William actually fell in a ditch while drunk & drowned.

And what happens to all the native rodents who had been living in burrows in that topsoil? They either get washed away completely or they get displaced. And what if there were *already* a disease being spread among the fleas of said rodents? Slides from my Bordeaux 2025 talk: doi.org/10.17613/01p...
