Intersection register · custodian, not owner
Verdun, a city of Lorraine, had a medieval Jewish community documented from the 11th century onward. It is also mentioned in early medieval sources as a point of passage in the slave trade, where Jewish merchants known as "Radhanites" were active. The community was affected by the successive expulsions from the kingdom of France in 1306 and 1394.
