ABSTRACT

The purpose of this article is to examine the reasons and context for Philip IV’s expulsion order against the Jews in 1306. Attitudes towards Jews in medieval Europe, including the kingdom of France, consolidated characters of exclusion and distinction. In this situation, in the 13th century, Philip II subjugated the Jews under royalty by recognizing their economic activities, while Louis IX forced the Jews to converse in Christianity by refusing their economic activities. Anyway, the policies of the two kings presupposed coexistence with the Jews. However, Philip IV ruthlessly expelled the Jews in 1306 to confirm royal sovereignty and the state system. The Jews were not only demonstrative of the territorial influence of the sovereign royalty, but also fillers of the royal finance. Finally, the Jews, once considered coexisting beings, despite suffering and persecution against them, became the first refugees made by the state in the early 14th century.
