the call attacked
The call of Perpignan, capital of Roussillon, was attacked during the wave of the Black Death, like those of Catalonia to which it then politically belonged.
The city had welcomed, half a century earlier, Jews expelled from the kingdom of France by Philippe le Bel; the aggregate was therefore recent, and it was struck before it had taken root.
