[edit] Error?

While reading the article I believe that I have found an error or something that would not make much sense to anyone at all, which would of course leave them with more questions than answers on this particular subject. Since I am not very educated on the subject perhaps someone better versed in the subject matter can fix this...

The WIKI article says "In 1218, England became the first European nation to require Jews to wear a marking badge.[7]"

However later on it links to the Statute of Usury in 1275 an article that would seem to contradict the claims on the page it links from (explusion, 1218; badges) that the Jews were required to wear a 'marking badge'.

So what is going on? Were Jews required to wear the badge in 1218 or 1275? Or was it simply not 'enforced' strictly until 1275? Orasis 03:11, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tone of article

The article has rather an informal tone. Unusual Cheese 19:04, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
