Here's an awesome tidbit from medieval blog In the Middle:
Medieval Jew Punks Christians
It's really a bit surprising that this guy got to wait around and be killed by God's subtle knife, because if I were a medieval Christian, I totally would have drawn and quartered him. I guess it is rather appropriate that the Jew died of guilt, though. His mother probably wouldn't stop nagging him about spending his time playing pranks on the goys instead of studying leech-craft and giving her grandchildren with that nice girl from the next ghetto.
Also, Gerald of Wales was kind of a jerk. Just saying.
