Heroes (Jewry in England-- Peter Aldag)

Archbishop of Canterbury Stephen Langton

• “Hero of the Magna Charta” (40)
  • See ‘The Magna Carta Included Protection Against the Jews’ under Evidence.
• One of the exceptional clergy members in English History
• Passed a decree in 1222 protecting the Christians from Jewish slavery, usury, and sexual abuse
  • “That Jews do not keep Christian slaves [servants]. And let the slaves be compelled by ecclesiastical censure to observe this; and the Jews by canonical punishment, or by some extraordinary penalty contrived by the Diocesans. Let them not be permitted to build any more synagogues, but be looked upon as debtors to the churches of the parishes wherein they reside, as to tithes and offerings. To prevent likewise the mixture of Jewish men and women with Christians of each sex, we charge, by authority of the General Council, that the Jews of both sexes wear a linen cloth, two inches broad and four fingers long, of a different colour from their own clothes, on the upper garment, before their breast; and that they be compelled to this be ecclesiastical censure. And let them not presume to enter into any church, nor for that end lodge their goods there. If they do let them be corrected by the Bishop.” (40)
    • The first case where Jews were required to wear a badge identifying them as Jews as a punishment/ protection for Gentiles (40)
      • In 1218, a law had already been passed requiring them to wear an identifying badge, but it is unclear whether this was a punishment or a privilege. (39)
    • Note: the king stepped in and countermanded this decree (40)

Edward I “Longshanks”

• In 1268, the desecration event of a Jew trampling a crucifix in public strongly influenced Edward I for life. (51, 57)
  • See ‘Desecration Event in 1268 that Influenced Edward I’ under Quotes.
• 1271: Passed law to protect Christians from usury (53)
• Found alternative funding— Italian bankers, the Caursini, rather than Jews, using a different loophole
  • Still punished them when they crossed the line of usury (56-57)
  • The Jews were the original loophole for money lending in Christian society, since Judaism has no prohibition on usury (against Gentiles).
• 1275: Statute de la Jeuerie or the Statute de Judaismo
  • Law tried to rehabilitate the Jews from Usury (58)
    • Banned Usury
    • Protected Englishmen from retaliation from Jews
    • Required Jews to reside only in certain cities
    • Required Jews to wear badges
      • “It was also once more stipulated that all Jews over the age of seven had to wear the specifically designated badge on his outer clothing, which took the form of a six-by-three-inch patch of yellow felt in the shape of the two tablets of Moses” (59)
  • Note: Napoleon also attempted to reform them later, but this effort was likewise unsuccessful.
    • See ‘Edward I’s Attempt to Make Jews Honest’ under Hilarities.
    • See ‘Peter Aldag on Napoleon’ under Quotes.
• July 1290: Edict of Expulsion
  • In perhaps the greatest act in English history, Edward I expelled the Jews from England. (69)
    • They had refused to reform and continued to engage in coin clipping and money lending.
      • See ‘Jews were not Required to Do Usury’ under Evidence for proof that Jews had been given other venues of income besides usury, making their expulsion justified.
      • The coin clipping was so severe that he had to reissue all of the currency. (64-65)
        • See ‘Jews Commit Coin Clipping’ under Themes.
    • He did not expel them only for money, as their fortunes had declined in recent years. (69)
      • More importantly, if he were motivated by money, he would have kept them around as tax collectors.
    • The expulsion order has technically never been repealed, and in theory, could be used to combat the Jews even today. [British Jews be advised: Edict of expulsion still valid]
