Medieval England and the Jews

The Jews first came to England in 1066 with William the Conqueror. The Norman kings and Henry II valued their financial contribution to the crown and ‘All Jews [were] under the King’s protection…’.
But after Henry’s death in 1189, with the advent of crusading fever, they were persecuted. The community of York was massacred in 1190 and a century later all 5,000 were expelled from the kingdom, forced to flee without their property.
Join historian Dominic Selwood and experts, Professor Nicholas Vincent and Professor Anna Sapir Abulafia for a fascinating insight into the lives of Jews during the medieval period.

The English explained this - coin clipping. Debasing the currency. The literal creation of fiat money by taking it from other people. It’s been 700 years and there hasn’t been a lesson learned, huh?

[@davidabulafia7145]

Very interesting discussion

[@zozowizman1644]

Excelent lecture

Some might find James Carroll’s book. “Constantine’s Sword” enlightening

[@arthurk188]

Constantine's Sword by James Carroll is full of erroneous claims about Christian history, Christian-Jewish relations...etc... It's an abysmal work. There are many abysmal works like it.

Fascinating! I’m an American Jew with largely British ancestry. Interesting to think different branches of my family tree were running around England oppressing one another all those years ago. It almost makes me laugh at the absurdity of racism. Thanks for the video!

They were coin clipping - debasing the currency. It’s telling you think it’s funny.

Excellent. Thank you

I have always thought it possible that the jewelry and silverplate that was used as collateral for smaller loans could be the source of much of the money value of this period. Also, scrap chain of gold and silver could always be utilized, think of our pawnshops today....They purchase broken jewelry and pay for the gold content...

[@jenniferwatson7118]

Fascinating thankyou.

[@funDAYsmiling]

Welsh and Cornish tin and gold mines that existed before the Roman occupation and as far as I know are stills there but I doubt they do much mining. Welsh and Cornish gold still is today the best quality gold there is. Mining tin smithing and yeah, wool, but they always traded with the continent too and had merchants living in Rome before the Romans themselves had even made it across the channel.

Have you ever read "Ireland 1845-1850: The Perfect Holocaust and Who Kept It "Perfect." by Chris Fogarty?

This was excellent. Thanks so much. Fascinating that the Catholic Church took such an Augustinian view of the Jews rather than a Pauline view as set-out in Romans 11, i.e. that the Gentiles were to understand themselves as a grafted wild olive branch and hence not to boast against the Jews/Israel.

[@yohanannatanson4199]

A remarkable conference.... Unless you think that it goes without saying (although in my view it does not), wouldn't you have pointed out that those ritual murder accusations were pure fabrication, rather than apply the term "saint" to these unfortunates young boys. Besides, as far as I know, the Church Authority never sanctioned this "sainthood", it was only a local thing (in Norwich or Lincoln). As an illustration of the vulnerability Pr Sapir-Abulafia spoke of : Jews of London were extensively massacred th very day of Richard I's coronation. The same year (1190), the king granted a favorable charter to the Jews of the Plantagenet empire.... A question: Pr Vincent states that we do not know the exact date when the first Jews came to England. In your presentation of the video you write: "The Jews first came to England in 1066 with William the Conqueror" (which was my idea up to now)... Which is which?

Jesus flipped the money changers table; the English expelled the coin clippers. Do you derive your self esteem from repeating vapid platitudes?

He would be very upset as God created everyone to be equal and Jesus died for all of our sins and he was also Jewish himself.

The British Royals aren’t Jewish. Their royal lineage is well documented and they are not descendants of Jews.

yes.. i agree.. 100% they will not admit their true identity. Too very very risky. look at queen Elizabeth 2 especially when she was young how beautiful she was. Soft face slightly oval .. round 👀 . More like middle eastern face shape

Who else thinks that the people who actually committed these ritual sacrifices knew they would get away with it by blaming the Jewish people, because they knew everyone would believe that the Jewish people did it?
