The Murder of William of Norwich: The Origins of the Blood Libel in Medieval Europe
E. M. Rose — 2015
Links the accusation to the trial of Simon de Novers, an indebted knight accused of killing his Jewish banker, Deulesalt: the ritual-murder story allegedly served the knight's defence, backed by the bishop. Then follows the spread of the accusation to Gloucester (1168), Blois (1171), Bury St Edmunds (1181) and Paris.
