The Crusaders rampaged through the Rhine and Danube River regions, massacring Jews because "why should we attack the (Muslim) unbelievers in the Holy Land and leave infidels in our midst undisturbed?" But there were also other reasons to kill Jews during the 14th century - disastrous harvests, severe famine, the Black Plaque of 1334-50. Jews were blamed for all of these, despite the fact that a large number of Jews also died as a result of the famine and Plague, although not in as large numbers, because of their higher level of cleanliness.

[U]pon every great high road . . . there are stations, with houses of accommodation for travellers, called yamb or post-houses. . . . At each station four hundred good horses are kept in constant readiness, in order that all messengers going and coming upon the business of the grand khan, and all ambassadors, may have relays, and, leaving their jaded horses, be supplied with fresh ones. . . . In the intermediate space between the post-houses, there are small villages settled at the distance of every three miles, which may contain, one with another, about forty cottages. In these are stationed the foot messengers, likewise employed in the service of his majesty. They wear girdles round their waists, to which several small bells are attached, in order that their coming may be perceived at a distance; and as they run only three miles, that is, from one of these foot-stations to another next adjoining, the noise serves to give notice of their approach, and preparation is accordingly made by a fresh courier to proceed with the packet instantly upon the arrival of the former. Thus it is so expeditiously conveyed from station to station, that in the course of two days and two nights his majesty receives distant intelligence that in the ordinary mode could not be obtained in less than ten days.
