Expulsions (Encyclopaedia Judaica), Encyclopaedia Judaica, via Encyclopedia.com.
Scholarship & press
The expulsions from France, especially those of 1306 and 1394, evicted the Jews from most of the territory within the borders of France until 1789.
Some of these were "general expulsions" which removed the Jews from the territory of a whole country for an extended period.
While the motives for the expulsions fall into differing and variegated categories, the root of them all was hatred of the Jew. This hatred was at times exploited by fiscal considerations of the rulers responsible for the expulsions.
