Jews had relatively low status everywhere in the world until after the French Revolution of 1769, and later, the great migration of Jews to America 1880-1920.

In 16th Century England, at the time of Shakespeare's birth, Jews had just been allowed into the country by Oliver Cromwell, after a mass expulsion of Jews in 1290. They did not have citizenship status yet, nor did they many rights.
