To what extent did the blood libel spread to other parts of England and Europe?
What would be an ideal response?
The first case of the blood libel in Europe in the Middle Ages was that of William of Norwich in 1144. Subsequent cases were recorded in Gloucester, England (1168); Blois, France (1171); Saragossa, Spain (1182); Bristol, England (1183); Fulda, Germany (1235); Lincoln, England (1255); and Munich, Germany (1286). In 1475, a 2-year old boy named Simon disappeared from the city of Trent in Italy around the time of Easter. By the 17th century, blood libels became increasingly common in eastern Europe, particularly in Poland and Lithuania.
