The shocking massacre of the Jews in York, 1190, is here re-examined in its historical context along with the circumstances and processes through which Christian and Jewish neighbours became enemies and victims.

This text uses anti-Jewish disputational literature to explore the rise of anti-Judaism. Christian theologians between 1000-1150, were trying to work out the relationship between Christianity and Judaism as they attempted to clarify their doctrines. Anti-Judaism was the response to their findings.
