Toll

The toll is reproduced exactly as the source states it — never rounded, never added to another. Tolls overlap from one event to the next.

The Jewish quarter of Aix-en-Provence was attacked during a riot.

Aix had the largest community in the county, and its Jewish quarter bordered the comital palace. The riots of those years, in Aix as in Arles and Marseille, drove a portion of the Jews of Provence to convert or to cross into Italy even before the edict of expulsion, which would come some ten years later.
