Hagin Deulacres
13th-century English rabbi
Hagin Deulacres was a prominent figure in 13th-century English Judaism, serving as a rabbi and holding a significant position within the community. His appointment as Presbyter Judaeorum of England on 15 May 1281, was facilitated by the influence of Queen Eleanor of Provence, highlighting his importance and connections within the realm. As a member of the Jewish community in London, Deulacres' role was likely pivotal in representing the interests of English Jews during his tenure.
Deulacres' tenure as Presbyter Judaeorum was marked by significant events in English history, ultimately culminating in the Edict of Expulsion of 1290. However, his personal fate differed from that of many of his contemporaries, as he is not recorded among the Jewish deportees. This omission suggests that Deulacres likely passed away before the Expulsion, bringing an end to his notable career as a rabbi and community leader in medieval England.
