[Gocamino] Medieval violence

[Eldor Pederson]

Apropos of recent discussions, anyone living in or near Los Angeles or planning to visit there sometime soon may want to visit the exhibit at the Getty Museum (Just west of the San Diego Freeway and north of Sunset on top of the hill; make parking reservations but admission is free) on Medieval Violence. While it is not specific to the Camino or Spain, the exhibit puts in context the role of violence in the culture of Europe just before the Conquest of the Americas, at the time when the pilgrimage was at its apex. A small sample of the exhibit is presented in a series of web pages:
