Jewish Money Lenders in England: What happened to Money Lendings after Expulsion?

Upvote:3

The 1290 Expulsion of the Jews involved a fairly small number of people, about 2,000. only some of which were moneylenders.

Their places were easily taken up by the Lombards, whose laws allowed moneylending. By the mid 14th century, there were complaints or at least suspicions that some of the "Lombards" were actually returned Jews.
