The 1554 Egyptian Act is a piece of 16th century English legislature regarding Romani and travelers within the realm. The act was passed to amend previous laws regarding the Romani people. The Act of 1530 did not cover Gypsies who were born in England or those who came to England by way of Scotland. The primary objective of the law was to end the “naughty, idle and ungodly life and company,” of Gypsies by either forcing them to settle down, exit the realm, or face potential death at the will of the Crown.
