Economic and social antagonisms had long been simmering between the wealthy patrician families of the city and the guild craftsmen and petty traders, many of whom were in debt to Jews. Afterward, the Jews were expelled from the city, the Emperor outlawed the rebels, and their leaders were arrested and put to death.
