* Saint Bernard of Clairvaux preaches the Second Crusade at Vezelay, Burgundy.

In a repeat of the events of 1096, Crusaders attack and massacre Jewish communities along the Rhine.

Bernard de Clairvaux condemns these pogroms in strong terms, reminding the Crusaders that those who attacked the Jewish people during the previous Crusade came to a sorry end and were massacred to the last man by the Turks.
