THREAD- Why were the jews kicked out of England in 1290? Textbooks likes to paint the picture that the jews were unjustifiably kicked out and the main reason for it was because 'they were jews'. Let's see if there was any good reasons for the English people to kick the jews out
Jews during the middle ages had established themselves as the chief bankers and moneylenders. England during the rule of the Anglo-Saxons was a nation that despised the evil act of usury and did not take kindly to anyone who in engaged in it.
We can see the resistance that England presented against usury by looking at their usury laws. King Alfred had implemented anti-usury laws in around 900 A.D.
Under later Anglo-Saxon king, Edward the Confessor. He had established even stricter laws against usury. Money lenders were outlawed, lost their wealth and charging interests was not allowed under the rule of Edward in England.
The successor of Edward the Confessor, Harold Godwinson was just as strict against moneylenders as his predecessor. As you can imagine, England had now made many powerful enemies and indeed, the Anglo-Saxon rule after their anti-usury stance was a very short one.
The last king of the Anglo-Saxon rulership of England was Harold Godwinson, it didn't take too long for England to be invaded by a foreign power known as the Normans. Sort of like today, any country who dares to go against the bankers will quickly get stomped on.
The Normans were commanded by 'William the Conqueror'. William the Conqueror was financed by jews and had brought them from Rouen to England. There are even suspicion that William himself, might have had a jewish mother.
Normans won the war against the Anglo-Saxons after King Harold Godwinson was killed at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and the Anglo-Saxon rulership was no more. England was now under the control of a foreigner who had jewish financiers and who might have been jewish himself.
William encouraged jews,mainly craftsmen and merchants to follow him to England thus jews started to migrate to England from France, Germany, Spain and Italy. Under Williams rule and other Norman kings after him, jews were well regarded and had basically monopoly in money lending
As soon as William the Conqueror took over England, it went from outlawing moneylenders to praising moneylenders and allowing them to engage in their evil act of enslaving the population financially with usury. Laws enacted by the Ango-Saxons were ignored.
Stephen Goodman in his article 'Praise of Medieval England A golden age recalled' says
'It was, however, William's son Rufus (1087-1100) who actively permitted these Jews to engage in lending money at interest'.Rufus was also a filthy degenerate. Sorta like our politicians today

The jews were basically running a department store back in medieval England to push out competition from gentile merchants by selling various of different items under the same roof. These items were normally sold in seperate shops so this enraged the English merchants.
The jewish moneylenders charged an insane amount of interest rates to princes, noblemen and the working class. Distrubuting the wealth of the gentile to them. After just two generations, 1/4 of all English land belonged to the jewish moneylenders.
The article ''Why were the Jews expelled from England in 1290?'' published by the University of Oxford tells us that the jews prospered in England and had a monopoly in money lending there during this era.
Jewish moneylenders handing out money to the rulers of England, making these same rulers and prominent figures beholden to them and thus the jews can have control over them and have the rulers treat them favorably. Sorta like what jews are doing today with our so called 'leaders'
Just how powerful and influential were the jewish moneylenders during this era in England? Let's look at an example of a powerful jewish moneylender. The article from Oxford gives us the example of the jew 'Aaron of Lincoln'
William Cunningham tells us that despite the jews directly mingling with the rulers of the English people, they never integrated into English society and held them seperate from gentiles. As the jews wealth grew, they started to become more open of their contempt of gentiles.
They never integrated, they never respected or obeyed the laws of the people who welcomed them into their country. They never contributed anything to the prosperity of England because their main aim was to suck up all the wealth of the English people, not become part of them.
On top of their economic sheningans, jews had engaged in the very evil act of jewish ritual murder. Such murders were unheard of in England until the jews appeared and these horrific murders suddenly stopped once jews were expelled from England. https://archive.ph/Sa4LM
All of these examples fueled the rage of the English people until they had enough and expelled them from their country in 1290 with the 'The Edict of Expulsion', a royal decree issued by King Edward I of England. Some jews still managed to remain however...
But openly jews were not allowed into England. What was the result for England when they were banished? Prosperity. Stephen Goodson tells us that Englands financial system started to run more fairly and not run by exploitation and endless debts as it was previously.
Few taxes, no state debt and no interest to pay, heavily contributed to the prosperity of England and the English people had no problem to provide for themselves all the necessities of life. The average worker in England worked only 14 weeks a year!
Visitors from other European countries to England spoke of Englands prosperity. English people having a lot of free time to enjoy their interests and hobbies. A country that used its wealth to make the nation beautiful by building structures with beautiful architecture.
But all that came to an end when the jewish puppet Cromwell allowed jews back into England in the mid 1650s. And ever since, jews has run England through the Bank of England that was established in 1694. Centuries of jewish rule over England and look where the country is at today
