Excerpt from The Status of the Jews in England, From the Time of the Normans, to the Reign of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Impartially Considered: Comprising Authentic Notices, Deduced From Historical and Legal Records; And Including a Synopsis, With Comments, of the Debates on the Jewish Disabilities Bill
In a modern publication, The Laws and Ancient Institutions Of England, alaw is cited, relative to Jews in Edward the Confessor's time, which seems to support Spelman and Coke's Opinion. Johnson, however, classes this ordinance amongst the supposed laws of Edward. (see Collect. Of Eccles. Laws and Canons, vol. I, MLXIV.)

Über den Autor / die Autorin
Charles Egan was born in Nottingham, England, of Irish parents. When he was five, the family returned to Ireland, as his father had been appointed Resident Medical Superintendent of St. Luke's, a psychiatric hospital in Clonmel, in County Tipperary. Every summer they visited his father's family's farm, outside Kiltimagh in County Mayo for a month, where his grandmother and uncles spent many evenings, talking about family and local history.
The family subsequently moved to County Wicklow, where he initially attended the De La Salle Brothers School in Wicklow town. He then went to the Jesuits' Clongowes Wood College (James Joyce's alma mater), and subsequently studied Commerce in University College Dublin, graduating
in 1973.
After an initial career in the private sector, including Marubeni Dublin, (where he met his future wife, Carmel), he joined the Industrial Development Authority (IDA) in Dublin. After a few years, the desire to be his own boss, led him to resign and set up his own business, which ran for 30 years.
Apart from business, his main interests are history, film and worldwide travel.
