Papal bull by Pope Innocent III addressed to King of France [Present-day France]: “We advise and urge in the name of the Lord…that you strive to destroy Jewish abuses of the kingdom of the Franks…rise up to eliminate these heretics…” [Researcher’s note: In this papal bull, Innocent III accuses Jews of usury, blasphemy, arrogance, employing Christian slaves and murder. Innocent III urges the king to put an end to these “evils.”]
