The religious zeal of the crusades seems to have produced much hatred of non-Christians at the time. For example, when Richard I was crowned as King of England and a crusader in 1189 there were serious outbursts of mob violence against the Jews in London and some other English cities, especially York.

∙ 12y agoThe Blood Libels accused Jews of killing Jesus Christ as described in the Book of the Matthew when the Jews said, "Let the blame be on us and our descendants." Of course, modern historians point out that the Romans are responsible for Jesus' death, but Medieval Christianity was not interested in indicting Rome because of the physical position of the Vatican and the Roman connection to the history of the Church.
