Some of their chief men were discovered. The nobles, in rage or terror, flew upon them, stripped off their clothes, and beat them almost to death. Two curious stories were circulated, one by the Christians, another by the Jews. It was said that one of the Jews, Benedict^ of York, to save his life, was baptized ' WiUiam,' after a godfather in- vited for the occasion, the Prior of St Mary's, in his native city of York. The next day he was examined by the King as to the reality of his conversion, ...and had the courage to confess that it was by mere com- pulsion. The King turned to the prelates who were standing by, and asked what was to be done with him.
The Archbishop, 'less discreetly than he ought,' re- plied, ' If he does not wish to be a man of God, let him remain a man of the devil/ ^ The Jewish story is not less characteristic. The King in the banquet had asked, 'What is this noise to-day?' The doorkeeper answered, 'Nothing; only the boys rejoice and are merry at heart/ When the true state of the case was known, the doorkeeper was dragged to death at the tails of horses.
