Arnold III von Uissigheim, also ''blessed Arnold'' und "König Armleder", (c.1298-1336) was a medieval German highwayman, bandit, and renegade knight of the Uissigheim family, of the village Uissigheim of the same name. He was the leader of the "Armleder" massacres against Jewish communities throughout the Alsace in 1336. Arnold became a wanted man in 1332 on the charge of highway robbery in the Wertheim ''territorium''. He then commenced a wave of populist banditry and massacres against the Jewish population of the Alsace.

Epitaph Ritter Arnold
An epitaph (; ) is a short text honoring a deceased person. Strictly speaking, it refers to text that is inscribed on a tombstone or plaque, but it may also be used in a figurative sense. Some epitaphs are specified by the person themselves before their death, while others are chosen by those responsible for the burial. An epitaph may be written in prose or in poem verse. Most epitaphs are brief records of the family, and perhaps the career, of the deceased, often with a common expression of love or respect—for example, "beloved father of ..."—but others are more ambitious. From the Renaissance to the 19th century in Western culture, epitaphs for notable people became increasingly lengthy and pompous descriptions of their family origins, career, virtues and immediate family, often in Latin. Notably, the Laudatio Turiae, the longest known Ancient Roman epitaph, exceeds almost all of these at 180 lines; it celebrates the virtues of an honored wife, probably of a consul. Som ...

Armleder Persecutions
The Armleder persecutions were a series of massacres against Jews in Franconia and Alsace in 1336–1339. History In 1336 a nobleman of Franconia, Arnold von Uissigheim, claiming that an angel had commissioned him to do so, gathered a band of marauders and pillaged and murdered the Jews. These assassins styled themselves ''Judenschläger'' (Jewbeaters). Somewhat later John Zimberlin, an innkeeper of Upper Alsace, followed the example set in Franconia. He tied pieces of leather round his arms and bade his followers do the same. This gave rise to the name ''Armleder'' ('arm leather'). Their leader was called King ''Armleder'', and under him they marched through Alsace, massacring Jews in some 120 communities, including Rouffach, Ensisheim, Muelhausen, and Ribeauvillé. Those who were fortunate enough to escape fled to Colmar, where the citizens protected them. ''Armleder'', whom success had intoxicated, besieged the city and devastated the surrounding country. The citizens asked ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alsace
Alsace (, ; ; Low Alemannic German/ gsw-FR, Elsàss ; german: Elsass ; la, Alsatia) is a cultural region and a territorial collectivity in eastern France, on the west bank of the upper Rhine next to Germany and Switzerland. In 2020, it had a population of 1,898,533. Alsatian culture is characterized by a blend of Germanic and French influences. Until 1871, Alsace included the area now known as the Territoire de Belfort, which formed its southernmost part. From 1982 to 2016, Alsace was the smallest administrative ''région'' in metropolitan France, consisting of the Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin departments. Territorial reform passed by the French Parliament in 2014 resulted in the merger of the Alsace administrative region with Champagne-Ardenne and Lorraine to form Grand Est. On 1 January 2021, the departments of Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin merged into the new European Collectivity of Alsace but remained part of the region Grand Est.

Zentgericht
The ''Landgericht'' (plural: ''Landgerichte''), also called the ''Landtag'' in Switzerland, was a regional magistracy or court in the Holy Roman Empire that was responsible for high justice within a territory, such as a county (''Grafschaft''), on behalf of the territorial lord (e.g. the Graf, count). Background and function These judicial bodies emerged during the Franks, Frankish period. There were usually several thingsteads (''Dingstätten'') at which they would take place. It was thus a focal point for exercising the 'law of the land', the ''Landrecht (medieval), Landrecht''. Arnold argues that, by 1200, the institutions of the ''Landfriede'', the hereditary county and the ''Landgericht'', if not identical, had "emerged as a collective legal structure ''par excellence'' which the princes exercised personally or through delegate judges from amongst their vassals, ''ministeriales'' and officials. There were very different interpretations of the term ''Landgericht'' regionally. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rintfleisch Massacres
The Rintfleisch or Rindfleisch movement was a series of massacres against Jews in 1298. The event, in later terminology a pogrom, was the first large-scale persecution in Germany since the First Crusade. History It occurred in the Franconian region during the civil strife between the elected King of the Romans, Count Adolf of Nassau, and his Habsburg rival Duke Albert of Austria, when Imperial authority, traditionally concerned with the protection of the Jews, had temporarily collapsed. Already in 1287, the death of Werner of Oberwesel in the Rhineland had been blamed on Jews, and about 500 were killed in revenge, followed by a series of blood libels. When finally King Adolf was deposed and killed in the Battle of Göllheim on 2 July 1298, the Franconian nobility gathered at Albert's election in Frankfurt. When at the same time the Jews in the Hohenlohe town of Röttingen were accused of having obtained and desecrated a consecrated host, one "Lord Rindtfleisch", who the sources ...

Black Death Persecutions
There were a series of violent attacks, massacres and mass persecutions of Jews during the Black Death. Jewish communities were falsely blamed for outbreaks of the Black Death in Europe. Violence were committed from 1348 to 1351 in Toulon, Barcelona, Erfurt and Strasbourg among others. The persecutions led to a large migration of Jews towards the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. There are very few Jewish sources on Jewish massacres due to the plague. Background The official policy of the Roman Church, reasoned in part because Jesus was Jewish, was to protect Jews. In practice, however, Jews were often targets of Christian loathing. As the plague swept across Europe in the mid-14th century, annihilating nearly half the population, people had little scientific understanding of disease and were looking for an explanation. Jews were often taken as scapegoats and accusations spread that they had caused the disease by deliberately poisoning wells. This is likely be ...
