I’m looking for an undergrad level essay that centers on the question written above. There is no word count requirement for the essay but it is expected to be somewhere around 2000 words. The core of the essay should weigh whether common people in England during the medieval period were antisemitic or if they were otherwise pressured by the clergy, pushing religious intolerance, or nobles, seeking to default on the money they owed the jews. Jewish moneylending should be mentioned as it was key to Jewish existence in the period, and if possible reference could be made to the massacre at the royal castle in 1190 in York and the blood libel that would be great. Reading list given to me that could aid in writing: Abulafia, Anna Sapir, Christian-Jewish relations, 1000-1300: Jews in the service of medieval Christendom. (Harlow: Longman, 2011).
