The most devastating attacks against the Jews of medieval Christian
Europe took place during the riots that erupted, in 1391 and 1392,
in the lands of Castile and Aragon. For ten horrific months,
hundreds if not thousands of Jews were killed, numerous Jewish
institutions destroyed, and many Jews forcibly converted to
Christianity. Benjamin R. Gampel explores why the famed convivencia
of medieval Iberian society - in which Christians, Muslims and Jews
seemingly lived together in relative harmony - was conspicuously
absent. Using extensive archival evidence, this critical volume
explores the social, religious, political, and economic tensions at
play in each affected town. The relationships, biographies and
personal dispositions of the royal family are explored to
understand why monarchic authority failed to protect the Jews
during these violent months. Gampel's extensive study is essential
for scholars and graduate students of medieval Iberian and Jewish
history.
