This is a detailed study of Jewish settlement and of seven
different Jewish communities in England between 1262 and 1290,
offering in addition a new consideration of the prelude to the
expulsion of the Jews in 1290. The book estimates the extent of
Jewish residence and settlement; evaluates the tallage payments
made by those communities; and finally by a close discussion of
prevailing attitudes towards usury and moneylending considers the
Edwardian experiment of 1275. The impact of Edward I's legislation
and Jewish policy on his Jewish subjects is then examined. It is
possible to follow the business transactions of Jewish financiers
in these different provincial communities over almost thirty years;
and a thorough and detailed study is made of the type of people who
borrowed from the Jews. Finally a survey is made of the possible
motives and continental parallels which influenced the expulsion in
1290 and the subsequent dissolution.
