Vivelin of Strasbourg[note 1] (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.
[1] 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.
[2] 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.
