Blood libels were the false accusations that Jews used human blood, especially the blood of Christian children, in religious rituals. In many cases, anti-Semitic blood libels served as the basis for a blood libel cult, in which the alleged victim of human sacrifice was worshipped as a Christian martyr. The first recorded instance was in the writings of Apion, who claimed that the Jews sacrificed Greek victims in the Temple, but there were no other incidents recorded from the ancient Greeks until the 12th century, when blood lib ...

Henry IV made plans for campaigns in France, but was unable to complete them due to his short reign. In the meantime, though, the French King Charles VI was descending into madness, and an open conflict for power began between his cousin, John of Burgundy, and his brother, Louis of Orléans. After Louis's assassination, the Armagnac family took political power in opposition to John. By 1410, both sides were bidding for the help of English forces in a civil war. The new English king, Henry V, turned down an Armagnac offer in 1414 to re ...
