Persecution of Jews in France

Blois persecution
In the town of Blois, in 1171, the Jews are arrested after being falsely accused of committing ritual murder (killing of a Christian child) and most are executed after refusing to convert. Over 30 Jews are killed. The Jewish children are forcibly baptized.

Crusades
Jews were killed and forcibly converted in France during the Crusades.

Persecution of Jews during the Black Death
Jews were falsely blamed for the Black Death in Europe from 1348 to 1351; Jews were often used by Christians to blame due to their resentment of them considering their belief that Jews are the killers of Christ. Thousands of Jews were murdered in France, Spain, Germany, and Switzerland.
