When Richard I (Lion Heart) was crowned in 1189 he was not only crowned king of England but also as a crusader amid much hyped up relgious zeal ... A group of English Jews who came to do homage to him as their feudal lord were stripped naked and severely beaten up. Rumours spread through London that Richard I had ordered the massacre of all Jews. In London many Jews were killed before the killings stopped.
Violent anti-Jewish acts spread to the provinces, culminating in the events at York in March 1190. By then Richard I had left England to go on his crusade. (He reigned for a little over ten years, but only spent 6 months in England. He treated the country as a milch-cow for his overseas adventures).

Why do Jews tend to live in Los Angeles or New York?
Jews tend to live in cities for a variety of reasons. 1) Jewish Ritual Requirements: More religious Jews tend to live close-together because they need kosher outlets for food, mikvot for cleanliness, synagogues to pray in, and a variety of other religious requirements that are easier to sustain in an urban environment. 2) Occupations: It is usually easier to get jobs in cities, especially in the highly skilled professions that many Jews either desire to participate in or actively participate in. 3) Community: Jews like to be around other Jews. There is a religious and cultural continuity that they share with each other that they do not share with others. (This is just like the Chinese or Italians.) As for New York and Los Angeles specifically, the draw to New York is commerce and the draw to Los Angeles is the film industry. Once a core nucleus of Jews settled these areas, the communities just kept growing larger.

What happened between Jews and Christians in 1290?
King Edward the First signed the Edict of Expulsion, driving all Jews from England in 1290. Jews were not readmitted until 1657. Over the previous 200 years, Jews in England had suffered under increasing persecution. Jews were generally forbidden to engage in any trades but money lending. In 1190, over 100 Jews were massacred in York because of the blood libel, the rumor that Jews slaughtered Christian children to get their blood as an ingredient needed to bake Passover matzah. Ruinous taxes were imposed on Jews starting in 1219, and in 1253 King Edward endorsed the blood libel. Forcing Jews to sell their assets at deep discounts before they fled was very profitable. Wealthy nobles used their cash to buy up the debts of minor nobles, consolidating their power and eliminating their competition.

What happened to the Jews at Clifford's Tower?
In 1190, a man named Joce, a leader of the Jewish community of York, obtained the permission of the warden of York Castle to move his wife and children and the rest of the Jews of York into the castle. They probably took refuge in a wooden tower that stood where Clifford's Tower now stands. They fled there because they were threatened by an antisemitic mob incited by a man named de Malbis, who murdered a widow of a Jewish banker he apparently owed money to. The mob surrounded the castle, and when the warden left the castle, the Jews inside would not let him back in, afraid that the mob would enter with him. The warden appealed to the sheriff who called out the county militia. The militia lay siege to the tower for several days until the tower caught fire, on March 16th. Many Jews either died in the flames or took their own lives rather give themselves up to the mob. Those who did surrender were killed. Around 150 Jews died in all, and they are commemorated by a plaque on the hill where Clifford's Tower now stands.
