Accusations against Jews were not uncommon. A case of allegedly pierced sacramental breads was reported in Krakow in 1325 and in 1330 “the entire Jewish community in Güstrow had to move to the woodpile.” This also related to a pierced sacramental bread. Yet these events were barely known outside of the local area.

Denunciations of Jews are not uncommon. Jew burnings occur repeatedly in response to rumours of defiled hosts. But news of these incidents rarely spread beyond the immediate vicinity.
