"Jewry" refers to the Jewish people collectively. The word you want here is "Jews" with a capital J -- if this is in fact true. What is your source that Jews "often" became financial ministers to kingdoms? Which kingdoms? When? Name the individuals.
Or are you writing some kind of neo-Nazi filth? Um, yeah, I thought so.

You are mistaken.
"Jewery" is not an office --
in England, a "Jewery" was a Jewish Ghetto
(ie: "Yosel lived in the Jewery in London")
and "Jewery" is an English word for "the Jews" as a group (ie: "in the early 80ies many Americans marched to demonstrate their solidarity for the suffering of Soviet Jewery")
A Jew who held high office in a medieval court could be referred to as "the court Jew".
This was generally not a financial office.
Medieval monarchs did not care about Jewish opinions on finances -- the relation between the medieval nobility and Jewish money is that the Christian nobleman took money from Jews and then kicked them out of his holdings or arranged for a deranged mob to kill them.
