Expulsion of Jews from the Duchy

1544·Brunswick

Toll
toute la communauté

The toll is reproduced exactly as the source states it — never rounded, never added to another. Tolls overlap from one event to the next.

The Jews were expelled from the duchy of Brunswick.

Territorial expulsions continued throughout sixteenth-century Germany, on the Catholic side as on the Protestant side; what remained of imperial Jewry concentrated in a few cities that had never expelled — Francfort, Worms, Prague — and in the countryside of minor lords.
