- 1Anno. 1189. K. Richard crowned.
1During the time of whose coronation it befell, that not withstanding the king the day before his coronation, and by public edict commanded both the Jews and their wives not to presume either to enter the church, or else his palace, during the solemnization of his coronation amongest his nobles and Barons: yet (whilst the king was at dinner) the chieftain of the Jews with divers other of his Jewish affinity and superstitious sect, against the kings prohibition (together with other press) entered the court gates. Whereat a christian man being offended, stroke one of them with his hand or fist, & bad him stand further from the court gate, as the king had given in commandment: whose example others also following being displeased against the Jews, offered them the like contumely. Other also, supposing that the king had so commanded in deed (as using the authority of the king) fell upon all the Jews that stood by without the court gate. And first they bet them with their fists: but afterward they took up stones and such other things, as they could get, and threw at them, and bet them therewith. And thus driving them from the court gates, some of them they wounded, some they slew, and some they left for dead.
