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 ...

Idk but they were considered dirty low class citizens. They were also referred to as "the despised race".
