I just read this in the Magna Carta:
10. If one who has borrowed from the Jews any sum, great or small, die before that loan be repaid, the debt shall not bear interest while the heir is under age, of whomsoever he may hold; and if the debt fall into our hands, we will not take anything except the principal sum contained in the bond.
11. And if anyone die indebted to the Jews, his wife shall have her dower and pay nothing of that debt; and if any children of the deceased are left under age, necessaries shall be provided for them in keeping with the holding of the deceased; and out of the residue the debt shall be paid, reserving, however, service due to feudal lords; in like manner let it be done touching debts due to others than Jews.
Why did I never see it in school?

Why have clauses 10 and 11 been airbrushed from history? These were the ones inserted in the original charter (http://www.constitution.org/cons/magnacar.htm) to protect widows and underage heirs specifically from Jewish moneylenders by restricting the recovery of debt out of the deceased debtor’s estate.
But they are nowhere to be found in the official Magna Carta Trust website (http://magnacarta800th.com/events/) nor the US National Archive website (http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/featured_documents/magna_carta/index.html) which instead features the text of the later — and much shorter — 1297 version.
Of the forty or so distinguished members of the advisory board (http://magnacarta800th.com/magna-carta-today/membership-of-the-magna-carta-800th-committee/) of the Magna Carta Trust about a quarter are Jewish and they include:
US Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer;
John Bercow, Speaker of the British House of Commons;
David W. Rivkin, Secretary General of the International Bar Association and a member of President Obama’s finance committee;
Stephen Zack, former president of the American Bar Association and chairman of the ABA’s Magna Carta committee;
David Rubenstein, private equity billionaire and philanthropist; Rubenstein who founded the Carlyle Group and purchased one of the few remaining Magna Carta charters.
