It was such horrible times for our ancestors then! That blood libel has been used in Syria and many other places against us. <br />I'm glad you're enlightening us.

King Edward used and abused them, as did all the kings and barons, until they were penniless and of no further use to the corrupt temporal and ecclesiastical powers, i.e. the Kings and the Church.<br /><br />Before the expulsion, smaller expulsions took place from various towns throughout England and North Wales. in 1190, violent attacks by mobs stirred up by priests, crusaders and monks resulted in the Jewish population of York committing mass suicide in Clifford's Tower rather than be torn to pieces and murdered by the mob. <br /><br />In 1255, false charges were made against the Jews of Lincoln and 18 members of the Jewish community were executed by being burnt alive. Earlier, King John demanded money from Abraham of Lincoln, who had been made penniless by the same king and by barons who had never repaid the loans forcibly taken from their victim. The king ordered that for every day Abraham could not give him money, a tooth would be pulled from Abraham of Lincoln's mouth. <br /><br />When Richard 1st was crowned, the Jewish community arrived with gifts to congratulate the new king on his coronation. A false rumor was started that the Jews had come to poison the king and a mob attacked the Jews and killed them.<br /><br />Perhaps one of the worst crimes against the defenseless Jews was the hideously false charge against them that they had ritually killed a young boy called Hugh of Lincoln. This has become a vile blood libel used over the succeeding centuries by anti-Semites.<br /><br />One other tragic incident was when a student at Oxford University in 1222 adopted Judaism and married a Jewish girl. For that he was burnt alive.<br /><br />Such horrors were repeated relentlessly throughout the European continent. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07088952874016786151noreply@blogger.com
