Historical Accusations Against Jews

Where they went time and time again, the Jews would be accused of the

same ritual crimes.

Four hundred eighteen AD, Baronius reports the crucifixion of

a boy by the Jews at Im, between Aleppo and Antioch.

Four hundred nineteen AD, in the Syrian district of Imnestar,

between Chalcis and Antioch, the Jews tied a boy to a

cross on a holiday and flogged him to death.

Four hundred twenty-five AD, Baronius reports the crucifixion of

a boy.

Six hundred fourteen AD, after the conquest of Jerusalem, the Jews

purchased for a small amount of money ninety thousand prisoners from the

Persian King Chosros II and murdered them all in the most

disgusting of ways.

Ten seventy-one AD, several Jews from Blois crucified a child

during the Easter celebration, put his body into a sack and threw it

into the Loire. Count Theobald had the guilty ones burned

alive.

Eleven forty-four AD, in Norwich, during Passover,

twelve-year-old Saint William was tied by the local Jews, hanged from a

cross, and his blood drained from a wound in his

side.

The Jews hid the corpse in the nearby woods.

They were surprised by a local citizen, Elverjus, who was bribed with

money to keep quiet. Despite this, the crime still became

notorious.
