The Edict of Expulsion was issued by King Edward I of England on
18th July 1290, and it resulted in the expulsion of all Jews from
England. This was the culmination of over 200 years of increasing
persecution of the Jews, who had acquired a reputation as extortionate
moneylenders, which made them very unpopular with the Church, the nobility,
and the general public. Medieval England was more anti-Jewish than the
rest of Europe. In 1190, more than 100 Jews were massacred in York. The
first step towards expulsion came in 1275, with the Statute of the
Jewry. In 1289, Edward was deeply in debt, so he imposed a heavy tax on all
his knights. To make this more palatable, Edward offered to expel all
Jews from his kingdom, and the Edict of Expulsion was the result. It
was widely popular and it was not resisted by the wider population.
