Abstract:
Traces the tumultuous 14th century in French Jewish history and the motives for the many expulsions. King Philippe IV aimed to consolidate his reign by confiscating the property of the Jews who were expelled in 1306. His sons allowed the Jews to return for 15 years, but during the same period 100 Jewish communities were annihilated by rebellious shepherds (the Pastoureaux) and Jews were accused of poisoning wells. In 1322, an expulsion was decreed in northern France. In 1348, during the Black Plague, Jews in the autonomous provinces and those living illegally in Paris were massacred. In the years preceding the final expulsion, Jews were allowed to return in order to alleviate the financial crisis caused by the Hundred Years War, but anti-Jewish riots broke out in 1382. The final expulsion in 1394 was carried out in an organized way; Jewish property was protected and those expelled were accompanied to the border. After a series of delays, the expulsion became finite in 1397.
