Vivelin of Strasbourg (d. after 1347) was an Alsatian Jewish financier in the 14th century, presumably one of the richest persons within the Holy Roman Empire in that time. He lived in Strasbourg and primarily dealt with the Archbishop of Trier, Baldwin of Luxembourg, but also with the King of England, Edward III, as he led a consortium that lent 140,000 florins to Edward III on the eve of the Hundred Years' War, in 1339. He is not found in documents after 1347, and might have died during the Strasbourg pogrom of 1349, which saw almost 2,000 people being burned alive at the stake.

dbo:abstract
  • Vivelin von Strasbourg (auch Vivelin Rufus (lat.), Vivian le Rous (frz.), Vivelin der Rote; † nach 1347) war ein elsässischer jüdischer Bankier im 14. Jahrhundert und vermutlich eine der reichsten Personen im Deutschen Reich. Spätestens ab 1336 war Vivelin in Straßburg ansässig. Über seine Herkunft ist nichts weiter bekannt. Er machte seine größeren Geschäfte mit dem Erzbischof von Trier Balduin von Luxemburg, aber auch mit dem englischen König Eduard III. vor dem Hundertjährigen Krieg 1339. Als Pfand für einen Kredit von insgesamt über 340 000 Gulden wurde ihm zeitweise die englische Königskrone übereignet, die gut 25 000 Gulden wert war. Nach 1347 gibt es keine Spuren mehr in den Quellen, er könnte im Straßburger Pogrom 1349 umgekommen sein. (de)
