A quick definition of capitula de judaeis:

The capitula de judaeis were laws and questions used in medieval England to control and tax Jewish people. These laws and questions showed a strong dislike and prejudice against Jewish people. They were used to determine how much money a Jewish person would have to pay to be protected by the king and allowed to do business.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Capitula de judaeis (pronounced kuh-pich-uh-luh dee joo-dee-is) is a Latin term that means "chapters on the Jews." It refers to laws and regulations that were created in medieval England to govern the Jewish population. These laws were often discriminatory and reflected the anti-Semitic attitudes of the time.

Examples: One example of the capitula de judaeis was the requirement for Jews to wear a distinctive badge or clothing to identify themselves as Jewish. Another example was the imposition of special taxes and fees on Jews, which were often exorbitant and unfair.

These examples illustrate how the capitula de judaeis were used to discriminate against and marginalize the Jewish population in medieval England. By requiring Jews to wear identifying clothing and imposing unfair taxes and fees, the government made it clear that Jews were not welcome or valued members of society.
