Summary

We chat to Dr Dean Irwin, long-time listener to the podcast and co-curator of the episode 'History According to Ali', about the history of the Jews in medieval England. We discuss the origins of a Jewish community in England along with their legal status and close relationship to the crown. We look in particular detail at the thirteenth century, considering the attitudes of Henry III and Simon de Montfort as well as some exception individuals like Licoricia of Winchester. Finally, we look at the end of the Jewish population under Edward I with the Edict of Expulsion and why this happened. If you'd like to hear more about Licoricia of Winchester, you can sign up to the Special Episode or Star Chamber tier of our Privy Council where she was featured in an episode of our special Local Legends podcast series.
