摘要

In the crown of Aragon, developments in financial markets, along with the impoverishment and diminishing contribution of the Jewish communities, combined to reduce their value in the eyes of municipal leaders, faced with immense financial pressures. This financial backdrop was coupled with some unfavourable developments in the intellectual and popular climate towards the Jews, the ideas of Eimeric and several accusations of host desecration, and with moves to segregate and marginalise Jews, especially in Valencia.
