Motherhood and Ritual Murder in Medieval Spain and England
Weissberger, Barbara F.Accusations of Spanish religious persecution and fanaticism played a central role in the creation and promotion of the Black Legend by northern Europe in the early modern period. Although the claims of Spanish cruelty toward its religious and ethnic others are known to have sprung from economic and religious rivalries between England and Spain especially, they have retained their force over the intervening centuries.1 For this reason, the comparison I am about to make may come as a surprise. Blood libel propaganda-accusations of Jewish host desecration and ritual murder—is much less frequent in Iberia and surfaces much later than in England, France, Germany, and other countries north of the Pyrenees.2
