yehuborim given chance

[NaziMan12]

"Unfortunately, other provisions along with widespread prejudice made this difficult for many." A Jew by the name of Glassman referring to an uncited prejudice against yehuborim who wanted to be craftsman, farmers or soldiers. Although, there is no evidence that yehuborim wanted to be any of these things. Actually, we have evidence that indicates the contrary, as fifteen years later it seems the yehuborim broke the law and began loaning at high interest rates. "After fifteen years had passed, it was discovered that yehuborim widely but secretly continued to practise usury, leading Edward I to issue the Edict of Expulsion in 1290.[4]"

One of the earlier examples of 'loan shark'?

You all know how much I reference Futurama. Are you a shark or a sheep? ;-) 'Nuff said.
