Best Answer

The most serious persecutions in England took place in the Middle Ages between about 1100 and the complete explusion of the Jews from England by King Edward I in 1290. (No reason is recorded for the explusion). Jews were not readmitted to England till 1657 by Oliver Cromwell.

The coronation of Richard I in 1189 as a 'Crusader King' was marked by serious pogroms in London, Bury St. Edmunds and, worst of all, in York, where about 120-130 Jews were killed or committed suicide.

The reasons were the same as elsewhere in Europe. Moreover, the Crusades were accompanied by excessive and violent religious zeal ...
