Gone Medieval

Antisemitism in Medieval Europe


Listen Later

Christians had a problematic relationship with Jewish populations as the Medieval period progressed. Jews were frequently persecuted, targeted and pushed out by societies across Europe. In England, Edward I first issued the edict of expulsion in 1290. It remained illegal to be Jewish in England for 350 years. 


In this episode of Gone Medieval, Matt Lewis talks to Professor Ivan Marcus, author of How the West Became Antisemitic, which shows how Christian and Jewish competition in medieval Europe laid the foundation for modern antisemitism.


Gone Medieval is presented by Matt Lewis and edited by Ella Blaxill. The producers are Joseph Knight and Rob Weinberg. The senior producer is Anne-Marie Luff.
