Thomas of Monmouth

Thomas of Monmouth


Thomas of Monmouth fue un monje benedictino que vivió en el monasterio de su orden en Norwich (condado de Norfolk, Inglaterra) durante el siglo XII.

Es el autor de The Life and Miracles of William (Vida y milagros de William, 1173), polémico libro antisemita que acusaba a los judíos de asesinar a un joven cuyo cuerpo fue encontrado en Mousehold Heath, Norwich, en 1144.

Este texto ayudó a William of Norwich a inflamar Inglaterra de sentimiento antisemita, lo que finalmente condujo a la expulsión de los judíos de aquel país en 1290.
