Knowledge Empowers I recall reading this history, when I was researching the origins of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, but I did not know this was historically the origin of the Blood Libel fabrication. If I recall, in my research, it was shown that the priories, owed much money to one or more prominent Jewish businessmen, and had a vested interest in dispossessing this debt by having those they owed money to convicted of a capital crime. It was during this research that I learned that Jews, were coerced in many European communities, to become money lenders, as it was unlawful for Christians to borrow or lend money amongst themselves. Thank you Esther Shallan, for such comprehensive research on this subject. Reply
