The Synod of Oxford was held on 9 May 1222, at Osney Abbey,[1] in Oxford, England.[2] It was a council of the (Catholic) church in England, convened by Archbishop Stephen Langton. It is notable for a number of the decisions taken and canon laws set.
During the Synod, "harsh anti-Jewish laws" were enacted: "social relations between Jews and Christians were blocked; church tithes were levied against Jews, and English Jews were forced to wear an identifying badge. The construction of new synagogues was also prevented."[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
For many centuries, it was thought that the decision that Saint George's Day should be celebrated as a holy day in England was made at this Synod.[1] However, since the 1960s, this has been regarded by historians as an invention.[11][12]
