Expulsion of Jews begin in Europe: England Expulsion

Read while you listen

With its origins in the 12th century, the Inquisition, established by the Roman Catholic Church, was fully institutionalized and regulated by 1234 CE. 

As a judicial procedure, the Inquisition identified, prosecuted, and punished heresy against Church doctrine, and was enforced well into the 19th century. 

Somehow, the Jews frequently ended up receiving the heaviest blows, with the inquisitions progressing into full-blown Jewish expulsions from the countries enforcing it. 

On July 18, 1290 CE, King Edward I issued the first full-scale Edict of Expulsion, a royal decree expelling all Jews from England.

This drawing, appearing in the Chronicle of Rochester, 1355 CE, shows English Jews prior to the English Expulsion, wearing tablet-shaped badges, depicting the 10 Commandments. 

Expulsions resulted in waves of Aliyah, or immigration to Israel.
