It premiered at Haymarket in London in Nov. 1835. Moncrieff based his play on Eugene Scribe's libretto for J. F. Halevy's opera La Juive, which premiered at the Opéra, Paris, on 23 February 1835. Moncrieff's play and Scribe's libretto takes place in the year 1414 in the time of the Council of Constance. Kashmiri transported the plot to the time of the Romans.
