On the southern bank of the River Thames is an area named Southwark. It’s over the other side of the river and across the only bridge in the city, London Bridge. In the Middle Ages, it was a land of entertainment with its own rules, a Medieval Las Vegas where people would go to watch bear and bull baiting and visit theatres, taverns, and brothels. And the person making the most money out of the whole disreputable affair was a high-ranking Bishop of the Catholic Church. Welcome to Medieval Madness.
