Learning to Play Well with Others? Jews and Christians as Neighbours in Medieval English Towns

Irwin, Dean

Abstract

There was a Jewish presence in medieval England from shortly after the Norman Conquest (1066) until the general expulsion of the Jews from England in 1290. For much of this period, Jews and Christians lived together in towns across England. This talk considers how we access the positive interactions between Jews and Christians in English towns during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.
