         Jewish Ritual Murder in England Before 1290   
      
      
         Arnold S. Leese   
      
      
         The first known case occurred in 1144; after that, cases cropped up   
   from time to time until the Jews were expelled from the realm by Edward I.   
   The most famous of these incidents was that of Little St. Hugh of Lincoln in   
   1255. I record these cases in chronological order; and I do not deny the   
   possibility that some of them, in which details are lacking, were "trumped   
   up" ones, where death may have been due to causes other than ritual murder   
   and the Jews blamed for it; but the case of St. Hugh, particularly, was   
   juridically decided, and the Close and Patent Rolls of the Realm record   
   definitely cases at London, Winchester and Oxford. There seems no reason to   
   doubt that many cases of ritual murder have been unsuspected and even   
   undiscovered.   
      
         1144, Norwich. A twelve year-old boy was crucified and his side   
   pierced at the Jewish Passover. His body was found in a sack hidden in a   
   tree. A converted Jew, called Theobald of Cambridge, confessed that the Jews   
   took blood every year from a Christian child because they thought that only   
   by so doing could they ever obtain their freedom and return to Palestine;   
   and that it was their custom to draw lots to decide whence the blood was to   
   be supplied; Theobald said that last year the lot fell to Narbonne, but in   
   this year to Norwich. The boy was locally beatified and has ever since been   
   known as St. William. The Sheriff, probably bribed, refused to bring the   
   Jews to trial.   
      
         In J. C. Cox's Norfolk Churches, vol. II, p. 47, as also in the   
   Victoria County History of Norfolk, 1906, vol.. II, is an illustration of an   
   old painted rood-screen depicting the ritual murder of St. William; the   
   screen itself is in Loddon Church, Norfolk, unless the power of Jewish money   
   has had it removed. No-one denies this case as a historical event, but the   
   Jews of course say it was not a ritual murder. The Jew, C. Roth, in his The   
   Ritual Murder Libel and the Jew (1935) says: "Modern enquirers, after   
   careful examination of the facts, have concluded that the child probably   
   lost consciousness in consequence of a cataleptic fit, and was buried   
   prematurely by his relatives." How these modern enquirers arrived at a   
   conclusion like that after all these years, Mr. Roth does not say; nor is it   
   a compliment to the Church to suggest that its ministers would allow the   
   boy's death to be celebrated as the martyrdom of a saint without having   
   satisfied themselves that wounds on the body confirmed the crucifixion and   
   piercing of the side. And why the relatives should bury the boy in a sack   
   and then dig it up and hang it in a tree would puzzle even a Jew to explain.   
      
         John Foxe's Acts and Monuments of the Church records this ritual   
   murder, as did the Ballandists and other historians. The Prior, William   
   Turbe, who afterwards became Bishop of Norwich, was the leading light in   
   insisting that the crime was one of Jewish ritual murder; in the Dictionary   
   of National Biography (edited by a Jew!) it is made clear that his career,   
   quite apart from this ritual murder case, is that of a man of great strength   
   of character and moral courage.   
      
         1160, Gloucester. The body of a child named Harold was found in the   
   river with the usual wounds of crucifixion. Sometimes wrongly dated 1168.   
   (Recorded in Monumenta Germania Historica, vol. VI (Erfurt Annals);   
   Polychronicon, R. Higdon; Chronicles, R. Grafton, p. 46.)   
      
         1181, Bury St. Edmunds. A child called Robert was sacrificed at   
   Passover. The child was buried in the church and its presence there was   
   supposed to cause miracles. (Authority: Rohrbacher, from the Chronicle of   
   Gervase of Canterbury.)   
      
         1192, Winchester. A boy crucified. Mentioned in the Jewish   
   Encyclopaedia as being a false charge. Details lacking.   
      
         1232, Winchester. Boy crucified. Details lacking. (Mentioned in   
   Hyamson's History of the Jews in England; also in Annals of Winchester; and   
   conclusively in the Close Roll 16, Henry III, m.8, 26.6.1232.)   
      
         1235, Norwich. In this case, Jews stole a child and hid him with a   
   view to crucifying him. Haydn's Dictionary of Dates of date 1847, says of   
   this case, "They [the Jews] circumcise and attempt to crucify a child at   
   Norwich; the offenders are condemned in a fine of 20,000 marks." (Further   
   authority Huillard Breolles, Grande Chronique, III, 86; also Close Roll, 19   
   Henry III, m.23.)   
      
         1244, London. A child's body found unburied in the cemetery of St.   
   Benedict, with ritual cuts. Buried with great pomp in St. Paul's.   
   (Authority: Social England, vol. I, p. 407, edited by H. D. Traill.)   
      
         1255, Lincoln. A boy called Hugh was kidnapped by the Jews and   
   crucified and tortured in hatred of Jesus Christ. The boy's mother found the   
   body in a well on the premises of a Jew called Jopin or Copinus. This Jew,   
   promised by the judge his life if he confessed, did so, and 91 Jews were   
   arrested; eventually 18 were hanged for the crime. King Henry III himself   
   personally ordered the juridical investigation of the case five weeks after   
   the discovery of the body, and refused to allow mercy to be shown to the Jew   
   Copinus, who was executed.   
      
         Hugh was locally beatified, and his tomb may still be seen in Lincoln   
   Cathedral, but the Jewish Money Power has evidently been at work, for   
   between 1910 and 1930 a notice was fixed above the shrine as follows: "The   
   body of Hugh was given burial in the Cathedral and treated as that of a   
   martyr. When the Minster was repaved, the skeleton of a small child was   
   found beneath the present tombstone. There are many incidents in the story   
   which tend to throw doubt upon it, and the existence of similar stories in   
   England and elsewhere points to their origin in the fanatical hatred of the   
   Jews of the Middle Ages and the common superstition, now wholly discredited,   
   that ritual murder was a factor of Jewish Paschal Rites. Attempts were made   
   as early as the 13th century by the Church to protect the Jews against the   
   hatred of the populace and against this particular accusation."   
      
         At a visit to Lincoln of the Jewish Historical Society, in 1934, the   
   Mayor, Mr. G. Deer, said to them: "That he [St. Hugh] was done to death by   
   Jews for ritual purposes cannot be other than a libel based upon the
