The difficulty remains as to why King Henry and his servant John of Lexington would have believed the accusations in the first place. \u2026 While the decision to act belonged to the King, Langmuir believes that he was weak and easily manipulated by Lexington. Langmuir says Henry III has been described as; “a suspicious person who flung charges of treason recklessly, [who] was credulous and poor in judgment, and often appeared like a petulant child. When to these qualities we add his addiction to touring the shrines of England, it becomes easier to understand why he acted as he did\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Langmuir therefore concludes that Lexington “incited the weakly credulous Henry III to give the ritual murder fantasy the blessing of royal authority”. Jacobs on the other hand sees the financial benefits that Henry received as a major factor, conscious or unconscious, in his decision to mass arrest and execute Jews. As noted above, he had mortgaged his income from the Jews to Richard of Cornwall, but was still entitled to the property of any Jew executed, adding that Henry, “like most weak princes, was cruel to the Jews”<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"Anti-Jewish
[Popular Anti-Jewish woodcut depicting the blood libel child murder of either Simon of Trent<\/a> or William of Norwich<\/a> (which are basically the same story, in either case).

Note the profit motive, the crushing debt, the love of touring from big public event to big public event, the absolute credulity to believe what is convenient, the tendency to flit and flip-flop from outrage to outrage, and a reflex to accuse sinister cabals composed of largely powerless minorities of master-minding vast schemes against a blameless populace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If all of this seems long ago and far away, then please note that QAnon<\/a>, Pizzagate<\/a>, and a goodly portion of current Trumpery-driven White Violence is just this same story repeated over and over and over again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nice prayer at the bottom of that link, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
