How were Jews mistreated in Medieval Europe?

Because of hostility, Jews found it hard to earn a living by farming, and sometimes they were the victims of violence. Rulers took their property at will. Jews became bankers and moneylenders (usury) An even larger number went into marginal areas of the economy, such as buying and selling secondhand clothes The Jews were largely excluded from the feudal system and from society 1096 - Some 'Crusaders' exploited the religious fanaticism of the times to rob and murder Jews - and try to force the survivors to convert to Christianity.

There were widespread massacres of Jews in the Rhineland 1144 onwards - The Jews in various places were accused of ritual murder. These accusations were often followed by anti-Jewish riots and killings 1215 - The Church ordered governments to pass laws to make the Jews wear a distinctive badge on their outer clothing (usually a red or yellow wheel or the Star of David) 1290 - All Jews ordered by Edward I to leave England. No reason is recorded.

Some were murdered on their way out of the country 1348-51 - During the Black Death, Jews in many places were accused of causing the plague by poisoning wells.
