>>20977974>King Edward I literally expelled all jews from england.lol just lol HAHAHAHAH like wtf
here is an insight into the fragile ignorant foundations for the christian apologist that you came out with this.
Normans brought the jews to England.
The story of the 1290 expulsion of jews begins with the Barons' Wars.
We can skip ahead to the second phase.
Henry III (the beloved father of Edward I) was selling out the country to money lenders (typical case, this is how it goes all across Europe by all the Christian Kings). He had a stupid campaign, he borrowed their credit to wage his stupid campaign, and then he had to pay back huge interest, which meant higher taxes on the people of England.
The people of England were the ones who hated jews, and they weren't any real Christian they simply conformed to power of Church and were told some bullshit by some priest at a pulpit - they didn't read the bible or anything, especially back then they were firmly rooted in their pagan traditions really and weren't long from a weird mix of paganism and christianity where they were sold christianity as it being a pagan thing (and Christianity itself is bastardised with paganism in order to sell it).
The common people hated jews because of general stuff going on, jews money lent at all levels of society.
The jews were protected by Henry III, and by nobility more broadly, and also by the Church itself.
The taxes got too high, it led to people attacking jews.
Henry III - AND THE CHURCH - attacked and killed people targetting jews, but it was uncontainable.
Simon de Montfort had been off on crusade, originally close with Henry III, married Henry III's sister, machiavellian character, said he'd lead the people and saw an opportunity to betray and usurp Henry III.
