Jews and Conversos in Spain: the victims of royal power duels (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

This paper examines the complex interplay between royal power, religious fervor, and the socio-political dynamics affecting Jews and conversos in Spain during the 14th and 15th centuries. The author argues that the royal courts, influenced by economic interests and local political pressures, often disregarded religious motivations in their treatment of these communities. Key events, such as the rise of anti-Semitic propaganda, the establishment of legal statutes, and the role of the Inquisition, highlight the fluctuating attitudes of the monarchy and local nobility towards Jews, ultimately leading to significant challenges for these marginalized groups.
