Theobald V, Count of Blois
[2] Although he was the second son, Theobald inherited Blois (including Chartres), while his elder brother, Henry got the more important county of Champagne.[3] According to medieval Jewish sources, in 1171 Theobald was responsible for orchestrating the first blood libel in continental Europe.His alleged Jewish mistress Pulcelina of Blois unsuccessfully attempted to prevent him.[4] As a result of a church-sponsored trial, 30 or 31 members of the Jewish community were burned at the stake.He arrived in the summer of 1190 in the Holy Land and died on 20 January 1191, during the Siege of Acre.
