Medieval Anti-Semitism: New Version

This document discusses medieval anti-Semitism in England from 1190-1290 CE. It notes that English Jews prospered from government contracts in this period, fueling anti-Semitic sentiments. King Henry I and the Chief Rabbi of London issued a royal charter in 1100-1135 CE that established rights for Jews in England. However, in 1290, Edward I issued an edict expelling all Jews from England, reflecting the rising anti-Semitism of the period. The document also references the "Blood Libel" myth commonly used in this era to accuse Jews of murdering Christian children.
