The earliest recorded direct mention of Jews occurred in documents published in the 17th century when a group of [[Portuguese Jews]] were allowed to settle in Norway. Restrictions were lifted for [[Sephardic Jews]] already established as merchants in [[Altona, Hamburg|Altona]] when [[Christian IV]] took over the town. Christian also issued the first [[Safe conduct|letter of safe passage]] to a Jew (Albert Dionis) in 1619, and on June 19, 1630, general amnesty was granted to all Jews permanently in residence in [[Glückstadt]], including the right to travel freely throughout the kingdom.{{sfn|Mendelsohn|1969|pp=11–13}}

In this condition, the existence of anti-Semitism can be considered negligible because the traditional Jewish prejudice often stemmed from the perception that the Jews controlled the economic, political and social spheres of a specific European society.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Encouraging and Supporting Student Inquiry: Researching Controversial Issues|last=Selverstone|first=Harriett|publisher=Greenwood Publishing |year=2007 |isbn=9780313096839|location=Westport, CT|page=189}}</ref> However, this argument's attempt to downplay antisemitism is internally contradictory, since that perception of Jews is itself one of the most prominent and enduring signs of antisemitism.

Public policy toward Jews varied over the next several hundred years. The kings generally tolerated Jewish merchants, investors, and bankers [[Useful Jew|whose contributions]] of benefit to the economy of Denmark-Norway on the one hand, while seeking to restrict their movements, residence, and presence in public life. Several Jews, particularly in the Sephardic Teixeira family, but also some of [[Ashkenazi]] origins, were given letters of passage to visit places in Denmark and Norway; but there were also several incidents of Jews who were arrested, imprisoned, fined, and deported for violating the general ban against their presence, even when they claimed the exemption granted to Sephardim.{{sfn|Mendelsohn|1969|pp=16–31}} [[Christian IV of Denmark|Christian IV]] of [[Denmark-Norway]] gave Jews limited rights to travel within the kingdom and, in 1641, [[Ashkenazi Jews]] were given equivalent rights. [[Christian V of Denmark|Christian V]] rescinded these privileges in 1687, specifically banning Jews from Norway, unless they were given a special dispensation. Jews found in the kingdom were jailed and expelled, and this ban persisted until 1851.<ref name=pre1852 />
