ANTI-SEMITISM has been around for centuries. The Edict of Expulsion, a royal decree issued by Edward I on 18 July 1290 sought the expulsion of all Jews from England, by no later than November 1 of that same year.
This edict remained in place throughout the Middle Ages and was a culmination of over 200 years of anti-semitism.
Medieval England was particularly anti-Jewish, with many images and tropes which exist today arising from that period.
