[The following refers to the coronation of King Richard of England, also known as Richard the Lionheart.]

The coronation was followed by a banquet at which, according to the king’s orders, no woman or Jew was present.

As for the Jews, some of their leaders tried to enter with gifts and, after being turned away, were set on by the mob; some of them were killed and a general massacre of Jews throughout London followed, much to Richard’s irritation.
