Persecution of Jews in Slovakia

Roman emperors
Under Christian emperors, Jews were persecuted in the Roman Empire, which included forbidding Jews from marrying Christians, restricting Jewish ownership of slaves, and punishing those that converted from Christianity to Judaism.

Hungarian kings
Jews were forbidden from owning land or holding public office by King Andrew II of Hungary in 1222. In 1233, he required Jews to wear a badge.

After failing to convert Jews to Christianity, King Louis I had them expelled in 1360.

King Leopold (who reigned from the mid-17th century to the early 18th century) wanted the Kingdom of Hungary to be a purely Catholic state. Jews had to abandon Judaism or face persecution. The king's adviser and Archbishop Kollonitsch's plan for the gradual eradication of Jews included them being expelled from royal cities, not allowed to own land, banned from guilds, and forbidden from engaging in agriculture or seeking any profession.

Blood libels
Jews were murdered after blood libels, which falsely accuses Jews of having killed Christian children for rituals, in Trnava in 1494 and Pezinok in 1529.
