The Jews of Spain were massacred
On the 7th of Av, 1381 (acknowledged this year on July 28, 2009) The Jews of Valencia, Spain were massacred, 1391.
In Aragon, although there was a king, able and disposed to enforce the royal authority, add although the Castilian disturbances afforded ample warning, it was impossible to control the passions of the mob. From July 9, when the Jews in Valencia were massacred, until October, the subterranean flame burst forth successively in one city after another - Barcelona, Palma, Gerona, Undo, Saragossa, witnessed the same exhibitions of savage fanaticism. Yet if Juan 1 found himself unable to prevent the massacres, he was determined to punish them, and during the winter of 1391-1392 there were numerous executions of the most guilty participants.
