The Jewish quarter of Lublin was attacked during a riot.
The city was the seat of the great fair of Poland and the place where the Council of Four Lands convened, an assembly that governed the Judaism of the kingdom, apportioned taxes among the communities, and settled their disputes; it is the greatest institution of Jewish autonomy that Europe had known before modern times.
