The Jews fled to the castle (Clifford's Tower) and like Masada chose to take their own lives instead of being killed by the mob. Seems like a defining event of medieval english jewry.

      Thanks. I've always felt there's a disconnect in the way Jewish history is told. When it's taught to gentiles, it's usually talking about something else and then mentioning "hey, Jews were also there." When taught within the Jewish community, it's very limited to subjects that are already popular knowledge while neglecting a lot of fascinating stories. My hope is that, by putting Jewish history back into the context of world history, I can make it a more rewarding subject that will draw more people in.

The coins had Hebrew letters, which were minted in Poland during the early 1200s.

I can't imagine what it would be like to try to build a life for your family somewhere and to know it could come crashing down at any second unto death for no other reason than because of how you worship God...the same God as your neighbors, no less. Your videos are a great historical tool that are truly desperately needed. However, they are also a testimony to the strength and the faith of the Jewish people throughout the generations that allowed them to survive and to somehow thrive under such terribly difficult circumstances.

    As I understand it the services of Jews as bankers was used in the early Middle Ages because of a Christian ban on usury. Christians could not defile themselves with money so it was handy if non-believers (who were going to hell anyway) could do it for them.
    But if Medicine was the only other profession Jews could practise in England back then, was that because there were similar factors involved. Like say church prohibitions around touching or cutting into the body? Or something else?

Art, poetry science, literature, culture, economics etc. Of any country experience a great flowering wherever the sons of Issac the Hebrew children of Israel of Abraham. Jewish culture enriches any culture else. How can Christians worship Jesus many of whom the first Jews were Christian yet hate all Jews collectively without a sense of the individual?

      you may find it interesting to know that Cromwell didn't actually readmit the Jews, he simply discussed whether or not he should acknowledge the presence of Jews in the country. They were already present, there was already at least one synagogue in London. But due to the law, they came covertly, and the authorities looked the other way, pretending they were just Christian merchants. There is a really good in-depth analysis by Barbara Coulton available online from the Oliver Cromwell Association, under the heading "Cromwell and the 'readmission' of the Jews to England, 1656" if you put that into a search engine, you'll find it. :) I really enjoyed the read, and it shouldn't take you more than half an hour. It may give you some interesting nuggets to tell your class next year.

    Wonderful stuff as usual. I really do love and appreciate this channel and everything you do to make it, Sam. I suppose during the Norman period it might have been Jews and the King who were fluent French speakers with little or no Middle English. But I think that would also have applied to many of the higher nobles and churchmen too. Also a significant number of Flemings came over with the Normans and were involved in the conquest of England and latterly of Wales and Ireland. My understanding is that most of these Flemish speakers were usually also fluent in French since they came often from bilingual regions but also because they were often in military service to French speaking kings and nobility. I think the polite term for their role might be soldiers of fortune.

    If Jews thought as early as the beginning of the 14th century that Palestine was the answer, what stopped them from going there? I'm sure plenty of things. After all, the Jews had no army to fight the Saracens. I'd just like to hear more about it.

    I mean, I get it, because of the issues going on at the time, but I feel like Guide For The Perplexed was a step backwards, and snuffing out the mystical elements of Judaism wasn't a great thing. But it's not really my place, it's not my culture, my tradition, I just feel like it has been a general trend in abrahamic faiths to strip out the mysteries of God and I dunno it feels like a mistake.

    This video says that Pope Innocent III feared that Christian women were at risk of being seduced by Jewish men. Hence the order that Jewish men had to wear a yellow star on their robes. Apparently, Innocent was oblivious to the fact that Jewish men were marked as Jews for life by brit milah. Hence Jewish men carefully avoided intimacy with Christian women. In my view, this is the real but unspoken reason for bris. It also made it very awkward for a young Jewish male to turn his back on his Jewishness, blend into the Christian majority, and propose marriage to a Christian woman.

    Sam, in one if the videos you mentioned the "Radhanim" and apart from what is written in Wikipedia there is very little mention in other sources. Do you speak in depth in a video clip that I may have missed? They sound to be very interesting and was the Rambam's brother one and he traded internationally? Thanks

    I think there was Jews in Roman Britain too.
    As for Anglo-Saxon England who knows. The Anglo-Saxons would of killed and assimilated and deported any Jew from Roman Britain like they did to Celtic people.
    However what interests me is the lack of Jewish presence in Wales before the Norman conquest. Maybe a few minor individuals historians ignored and didn't document do to their irrelevancy but still.

      In the long run true, but Jews sat outside the feudal system and were deemed to be the 'personal property' of the king.
      The Anglo-Saxon peasants also suffered very greatly under the Norman and Plantagenet dynasties. They had no one in power to defend them once the English nobility and clergy had been destroyed.

    9:22 - Technically, Cathars were accused of being gnostics by the Pope and the Catholic Clergy; however prominent scholars (René Nelli, Jean Duvernoy, Michel Roquebert among others) on the question argue that they were likely were not gnostics and that this was only a strategy by the Clergy in order to defame the Cathars and worsen their public image (and the English wikipedia page on Cathars is likely wrong on the question; although the French page seems not to make this mistake).

    • @LordJagd
      @LordJagd Před 3 lety +1

      Makes sense, I mean the whole term/category of gnosticism was originally used by Christians writings polemics against other forms of Christianity. So the Cathars and Manichaeans are both gnostic religions but the commonalities seem to stop there or they're largely coincidental (or perhaps due to them being based on the same central savior figure)

      Not exactly. Innocent III literally believed that Jews would transmit Judaism through physical contact, as if it was an infectious disease. Honestly, as someone raised in the US, it was eerily reminiscent of the racist paranoia about interracial marriage.
