Well he'd be right if he did think that about usury and he certainly used it as an excuse to kill Jews. There's always an excuse, whether it be usury or Zionism.
Actually it as Charles 2 who first allowed usury as we know it today as part of the deal for being financed to take up the English throne.


I'm surprised that you're a so keen on Longshanks though, since he was the first person to think Wales was worth taking and did so.
