During the 12th century, Jews from Italy, Spain, and Russia migrated over to England. They built a large place of worship, known as “the great Synagogue” just a little way down from the Tower of London, where many Jews were executed some time later. The Synagogue was used for worship, as well as file claims against Christian debtors and charging how to settle their debts.
When corruption was found within Jewish money loaners, they were put under scrutinized investigation. The Stätütüm dè Jûdèísmöof 1275 made it so that both Jews and Christians could no longer lend money at interest and any outstanding debts should be paid by the following Easter. It was also stated that Jews past the age of 7 had to wear a badge that signified their heritage. To the English, the Jews had run out of use when they couldn't fill their royal coffers and were treated like third-class citizens.
