Statute of Jewry
The Statute of Jewry was a statute issued by Henry III of England in 1253. In response to antisemitic feelings in medieval England, it attempted to segregate the Jews, including imposing the wearing of a Jewish badge.[1] It is uncertain to what extent this legislation was put into effect.[2]
