A Genetic and Genealogical History

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Argues that Jews were present in England in substantial numbers from the Roman Conquest forward. Indeed, there has never been a time during which a large Jewish-descended, and later Muslim-descended, population has been absent from England. Among those the authors suggest were of Jewish ancestry are the Tudor kings, William the Conqueror, and Thomas Cromwell.
