Charles VI expels the Jews of France
September 1394
On a single decree, the French king ordered all remaining Jews out of his realm within three months. They were not allowed to take their wealth. The expulsion completed Philip IV's project of 1306 with greater finality, stripping France of its remaining Jewish communities. France would be officially without a recognized Jewish population for nearly four centuries.
