Rav Eliyahu Hakadosh of York - Baal HaTosfos (4950 / 1190 - 834th Yahrzeit)
In 4950 (secular year of 1190), the Jews of York, England, were killed by the Crusaders at Clifford’s Tower, after they refused to be baptized. Among the kedoshim were at least two Ba'alei ha'Tosafos, Rav Eliyahu Hakadosh and Rabbeinu Yom Tov, Hy”d. This tragedy occurred on a Friday night, leading to the “Cherem of York,” an English tradition forbidding Jews to sleep in the city of York overnight.
