Era
14th century
It was rare for either a woman or someone who was Jewish to be granted citizens rights in the fourteenth century; the fact that Adasse was both means she is a significant figure.[1] She gained notoriety in the town as a creditor, lending money to members of the Christian community in particular.[2] At the time of her citizenship, she was the owner of a promissory note for 71 marks. Although a citizen, Adasse would still have been excluded from council elections.[3]
