The act of martyrdom for your faith rather then converting is called 'kiddush ha-Shem'. It's a phrase closely associated with the events taking place during the Crusades. Godfrey of Bouillon dealt with the Jews in Jerusalem when they got there'. William Nicholls' book 'Christian Antisemitism' talks about it. Maybe some FReinds can help out with other sources.
