Frédéric II de Hohenstaufen / Frederick II of Hohenstaufen — Spring 1236 (according to the Encyclopaedia Judaica)
After Fulda, the emperor consults Jewish converts to Christianity, deemed to know Jewish law from the inside. Their conclusion: no Jewish rite requires blood, and consuming blood is expressly forbidden. The emperor clears the Jews of Germany and forbids spreading the accusation.
