Arany János amikor van egy király akit nem szeretnek az alattvalók: no, a legjobb lesz ha elkezd hangokat hallani. ezek a hangok véletlenül sem a bűntudatot* szimbolizálják :)

“Ki az? mi az? vagy úgy-”/“Fordulj be és alugy/Uram László király:/A zápor majd eláll,/Az veri ablakod.”

[...]

“Miért zúg a tömeg?/Kivánja eskümet?”/“A nép, uram király,/Csendes, mint a halál,/Csupán a menny dörög.”

— V. László, 2. és 4. versszak

Ha, ha! mi zúg?... mi éji dal/London utcáin ez?/Felköttetem a lord-majort,/Ha bosszant bármi nesz!

Áll néma csend; légy szárnya bent,/Se künn, nem hallatik:/“Fejére szól, ki szót emel!/Király nem alhatik.”

— A walesi bárdok, 28-29. versszak

*mondjuk László esetében én felvetném, hogy inkább a félelem mintsem a bűntudat, esetleg a kettőnek a keveréke

The Edict of Expulsion is a royal decree expelling all Jews from the Kingdom of England that was issued by Edward I on 18 July 1290; it was the first time a European state is known to have permanently banned their presence. The date of issuance was most likely chosen because it was a Jewish holy day, Tisha B'Av, which commemorates the destruction of Jerusalem and other disasters which the Jewish people have experienced. Edward told the sheriffs of all counties he wanted all Jews expelled before All Saints' Day (1 November) that year.

Jews were allowed to leave England with cash and personal possessions, but the debts which they were owed, their homes, and other buildings—including synagogues and cemeteries—were forfeited to the king. While there are no accounts of attacks on Jews during their departure on land, there were acts of piracy in which Jews died, and others were drowned as a result of being forced to cross the English Channel at a time of year when dangerous storms are common. There is evidence from personal names of Jewish refugees who settled in Paris and other parts of France, as well as Italy, Spain and Germany. Documents which were taken abroad by the Anglo-Jewish diaspora have been found as far away as Cairo. Jewish properties were sold for the benefit of the Crown, Queen Eleanor and selected individuals, who were given grants of property.

The edict was not an isolated incident, but instead was the culmination of increasing antisemitism in England. During the reigns of Henry III and Edward I, anti-Jewish prejudice was used as a political tool by opponents of the Crown, and later by Edward and the state itself. Edward took measures to claim credit for the expulsion and to define himself as the protector of Christians against Jews, and following his death, he was remembered and praised for the expulsion. The expulsion embedded antisemitism into the English culture of the medieval and early modern periods; such antisemitic beliefs included the belief that England was unique because no Jews lived there. The expulsion edict remained in force during the rest of the Middle Ages, but it was overturned in 1656, more than 365 years later, during the Protectorate, when Oliver Cromwell informally permitted the resettlement of the Jews in England.
