Puritans
Jews were expelled from England in 1290 and were only allowed to return in the early 1600s.
Valentine's Day was not banned by any specific person or party in the 17th century. However, during the Puritan rule in England, which lasted from 1649 to 1660, celebrations of Valentine's Day and other similar holidays were discouraged due to the Puritans' opposition to excessive displays of romance and festivities.
