Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bristol Memoranda In 1210 John caused the entire Jewish community throughout the kingdom to be arrested and collected at Bristol, where on All Saints' D (1st Nov) it was rated for talliage at 66,000 marks. In 1275 Edward I. caused the Jews of Gloucester to go to Bristol to dwell and abide there thereafter. In 1282 Aaron of Ireland, Jew, came to the shop of Robert of Arras, goldsmith, and offered him a plate of silver for sale before the eyes of many Xians who were present in the same place; in whose presence the said Robert received the sd plate from the said Jew, and when he had weighed it, charged the said Jew, that the said plate was fused from coin-chippings, and when the sd Jew heard this, he snatched the said plate from the hands of the said Robert, and ran off with it to the bridge over the water which is called Avon, and threw the said plate into the water, being followed by many Christians, who saw what he did; and by reason of the concourse and the general clamour the case came to the Constable's notice, and for that cause he arrested the Jew and detained him in prison, ... Ultimately he made fine with our Lord the King for release of suit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
