East Anglia — first blood-libel (1144)

Norwich's Jewish community is associated with the 1144 William of Norwich case — the first recorded medieval blood-libel accusation, which seeded the entire genre across Christian Europe. The community was annihilated in the 1190 Norwich massacre, mirroring the better-known York massacre that same year.
