DOCUMENTS RELATING TO THE HISTORY OF
THE JEWS IN THE THIRTEENTH CENTURY.

By C. TRICE MARTIN.

The following pages contain copies of a few miscellaneous documents
referring to the Jews of England in the thirteenth century, which I
have happened to come across. Most of them are entries on the Close
Rolls of Henry III., rolls on which were entered the substance of letters
written in the King’s name to individuals, and sent folded up and
sealed with the Great Seal. It will be noticed that the enrolments are
very generally in the third person, but the real letters which were
sent were in the first person plural, and commenced, “Henricus Dei
gratia rex Anglie, dominus Hibernie, dux Normannie et Aquitanie
comes Andegavie,” instead of simply “Rex,” as in the enrolments.

The remainder of the copies are from original letters of the time
of Edward I., still existing in the Public Record Office.

The few words which I have added to each document will give
some idea of their purport.

FEET OP FINES. Northamptonshire. 9 Ric. I. No. 28.
