Seeing no way out to safety most of the Jews chose to commit suicide in the keep. The alternatives were to renounce their faith and surrender to forced baptism or death at the hands of the mob. They were led by the wealthy Jew Josce and Rabbi Yomtob, a noted scholar, who had come to York from Joigny in France. After killing their wives and children they set fire to the wooden keep and killed themselves.

London’s remaining rolls cover nine of the years between 1300 and 1340. York’s date to between 1345 and 1385. On March 16 th 1190 a wave of anti-Semitic riots culminated in the massacre of an estimated 150 Jews – the entire Jewish community of York – who had taken refuge in the royal castle where Clifford’s Tower now stands. The chronicler William of Newburgh described the rioters as York acting “without any scruple of Christian conscientiousness”in wiping out the Jewish community. And William was not the only chronicler to record these lamentable acts, as the Chronicles of the Abbey of Meaux in East Yorkshire, and Roger of Howden include accounts.

He was the last person you would ever be offended by.

Mr McNally's sister Alexandra described the killers as "violent and evil" men and said what they had done to her brother was "unforgiveable". And he said to me: ‘Mum, don’t blame yourself. It’s nobody’s fault but my own. I got myself into it’.” When a suspected murder victim was discovered in late medieval England the coroner would be sought, and the local bailiff would assemble a jury to investigate,” said Eisner. Each case provides a glimpse of the dynamics that created a burst of violence on a street in England some seven centuries ago,” Eisner added. Judge Stubbs said Mr McNally had been "particularly vulnerable" because of the amount of alcohol he had drunk, something which the murderers knew.

Rosie doesn’t believe that for a moment. “He said he had had some heroin in the early hours, and by 11am he was ‘rattling’ [going cold turkey],” she says. “He wouldn’t have been.” He was described in court at Marshall’s trial as a drug dealer. But that wasn’t true, Rosie insists hotly.
