The Statute of Jewry was a statute issued by Henry III of England in 1253.[1] In response to widespread anti-Jewish sentiment, Henry attempted to segregate and debase England's Jews with oppressive laws which included imposing the wearing of a yellow Jewish badge to invite the Christian public's disdain.[2]
