Dear All,
I've just been reading Magna Carta and noted two derogatory
clauses about Jews (numbers 10 and 11) and specifically
about the status of money loaned to people who subsequently
died.
Can anyone tell me if these clauses related to the Jews
only or to money lenders in particular (irrespective of
their religion)?
I know that the word Holocaust was originally coined to
refer to the persecution of the Jews in England when John's
father or grandfather was king.
