Who they were

Simon of Trent (Italian: Simonino di Trento; German: Simon von Trient, also known as Simon Unverdorben, 'Simon Immaculate'; 26 November 1472 – 24 March 1475), also known as Saint Simon (or Simeon) of Trent, was a young boy from the city of Trent, in the Prince-Bishopric of Trent (now Trentino, Italy), whose disappearance and death were weaponized as a blood libel against the city's Jewish community.
