One of the earliest accounts of a Blood Passover was recorded by historian Socrates Scholasticus in the Fourth Century, who reported the Blood Passover took place shortly after the violent Jewish uprising happened in Alexandria that caused St. Cyril to expel the Jews:

Unfortunately, all we really have regarding proof of the Blood Passover of St. Robert of Bury comes from this snippet of historian Jocelin of Brakelond, who referenced the now extinct book "Book of the Miracles of St. Robert":

In Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, The Prioress's Tale is about Blood Passover martyrdom, and in the last verse Chaucer mentions Little St. Hugh of Lincoln, an actual Blood Passover martyr:
