Jews: <1250 - 1290
  1. Dates
    1. 31st July 1255- 9 year old boy was found dead in a cesspit near a Jewish house, and from then Jews were looked at as BLOOD LIBELS
      1. 1278- King Edward arrested 680 Jews for coinage offences, and hanged 293
        1. Coinage offences included coin clipping, ie. trimming the edges off coins, melting the clippings down and selling them
        2. 1190- Jews were attacked in York, where 150 were killed
          1. In 1290, Edward I decided to expel all 3,000 Jews left in England
            1. He took their possessions
            2. London 1263 - 400 were murdered. London 1264, 100 were beaten to death
            3. Impacts
              1. They contributed huge amounts of money to society (especially cathedrals)
              2. Integration
                1. Jews took on a wide variety of occupations as well as money-lenders (doctors,. goldsmiths, crossbow makers, artists, etc.)- we know from legal documents
                  1. They were doctors, doctors help people, therefore the Jews helped the Christians
                    1. However, laws in most towns prevented Jews from working as anything other than moneylenders, proving them to be valuable to society
                  2. Extra
                    1. Due to their expertise in money-handling, William I invited Jews to England
                      1. Christians and Muslims weren't allowed to charge interest on loans
                      2. The king was giving them special privileges, and they were ensured royal protection
                        1. Jews lived together in small towns called JEWRIES, and each community had its own council called a KEHILA
                        2. Persecution and Prejudice
                          1. Henry III ran into many problems with money during his reign from 1216 - 1272, so he decided that the Jews needed to be taxed much more than others
                            1. The Jews then demanded money from the people who'd previously borrowed money from them, but they quickly lost their wealth
                              1. In 1255, Henry III handed all royal rights over the Jews to his brother Richard, Earl of Cornwall, in return for a large loan
                              2. Henry III arrested 93 Jews, hung 18, and they were all charged with RITUALMURDER. All their property was handed in to the king (as it did with all executed criminals)
                                1. STATUTE OF JEWRY: -Jews were no longer allowed to collect interest on loans - Most people who owed money to Jews didn't have to pay - Jews had to wear large yellow badges on outer clothes - Jews could only live in a few selected towns
                                  1. Another statute was that Jews were now allowed to buy land and become farmers, however most Jews were so poor that they had no chance of buying land to become farmers
                                    1. This statute may have given Jews the hope of success, which is why they didn't leave
                                  2. DOMUS CONVERSORUM: Henry III set up a home where Jews were converted to Christianity instead of being exiled
