Early in 1348 the rumor arose that Jews were spreading the disease (Black Plague) by poisoning the Christian wells. Though this appeared absurd to the kings and popes, and Pope Clement VI of Avignon (France) tried to discredit the charge by issuing a bull calling the accusations "unthinkable," Jews continued to be blamed and persecuted. By the fall of 1348, formal accusations were brought against Jews, and when court officials extracted confessions, the rumors began to be believed. Accounts of "well poisoning" by Jews spread from Avignon to Strasbourg and then to all of Germany and Poland. Riots occurred in Stras¬ bourg, and when the members of the local government tried to protect the Jews, they were thrown out of office. With a new government in place, more than 900 Jews, about half the entire community, were rounded up, and on 14 February 1349 they were burned on the grounds of the Jewish cemetery.
