	Tod des heiligen Werner Legend has it that in 1288, a young boy named Werner was supposedly tortured to death by Jews. His body floated up the Rhine River (against the current) and glowed with an aura. Christians became convinced that Werner had died a martyr, a victim of a ritual killing. This sparked a riot of anti-Semitism which resulted in the murders of 26 Jews in Bacharach.	When the Jews appealed to Kaiser Rudolph for help, he was convinced that they were being unjustly persecuted and proclaimed the Jews’s innocence. Furthermore, he ordered punishment for the Jews’ murderers, and that Werner’s corpse be burned and scattered to the winds to prevent further unrest.
