The Fourth Lateran Council, which took place in 1215, ordered Jews to remain off the streets during Christian festivals. This was one of several measures taken by the council to limit Jewish influence in society. Other measures included requiring Jews to wear a distinctive badge and prohibiting them from holding public office. The council did not protect Jews' property from seizure by Christians.
