the Pastoureaux who went to Aragon massacre the community sheltering in the fortress

Passés en Aragon, les Pastoureaux attaquèrent la forteresse de Montclus, où s'était réfugiée la communauté juive des environs, et la massacrèrent. Le roi Jacques II fit poursuivre et pendre les coupables, ce qui distingue nettement l'Aragon de la France : là, l'autorité châtia.

Les Juifs d'Aragon étaient un bien de la couronne et jouissaient d'une protection réelle, que les rois firent respecter tant qu'ils en eurent les moyens. Il faudra les troubles de la fin du siècle pour que cette protection s'effondre à son tour, et alors le désastre sera sans commune mesure.
