Subject: 1190 conference
>
>
> An interdisciplinary conference, York 1190: Jews and Others in the Wake of
> Massacre, will take place March 22-24, 2010, at the Centre for Medieval
> Studies, University of York.
>
> The mass suicide and murder of the men, women and children of the Jewish
> community in York is one of the most scarring events in the history of
> Anglo-Judaism. It was also but one of a series of attacks on local
> communities of Jews across England in 1189-90.
>
> This conference brings together researchers from the US, Europe and Israel
> to reinterpret the events, context and memory of 1190. It will explore
> relationships between Jewish and Christian communities, and between local
> communities and royal government, in the late twelfth and thirteenth
> centuries. It thus aims to consider 1190 as central to the narrative of
> English history in the decades around 1200, as well as that of Jewish
> history. It will also address the memory of 1190 and its continuing
> relevance today. Speakers include Anna Abulafia, Jeffrey Cohen, Paul
> Hyams,
> Robert Stacey, and Nicholas Vincent.
>
> For the full programme and further information, please see

> Graduate Bursaries are available (application deadline of February 1).
