Harold (martyr)
(????-1168)
English child, death falsely attributed to a blood libel
About
Jump to
Saint Harold was a child martyr who was reported to have been slain by Jews in Gloucester, England, in 1168. He is one of a small group of 12th century English saints of strikingly similar characteristics: they were all young boys, all mysteriously found dead and all hailed as martyrs to alleged anti-Christian practices among Jews. Contemporary assumptions made about the circumstances of their deaths are typical of blood libel. Other such saints include Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln, Robert of Bury, and William of Norwich.
