825 CE
Louis continues and expands his father's liberal policies toward the Jews, changing Market day from the Sabbath to Sunday in 825 and appointing one Ebeard, a Jew, as magister judeacrum to protect Jewish rights.
His need for Jewish money making him beholden to Jewish merchants, Louis issues to the Jews a Charter of Protection, encourages Jewish trade (including slave trade) and relaxes political restrictions, allowing some juridical autonomy.
