Inquisition

Massacres and Forced Conversions of 1391
Many of Spain's Jewish inhabitants were killed and many others were forced to convert and baptize as a result of the religious persecution and pogroms which occurred in 1391.

Spanish Inquisition
The Spanish Inquisition was used to maintain Catholic orthodoxy and to convert Jews and Muslims. Royal decrees issued in 1492 and 1502 ordered Jews and Muslims to convert or leave Spain. Due to the Alhambra decree and persecution in prior years, thousands of Jews converted to Catholicism and thousands were expelled. Jews that converted back to Judaism were killed.

Portuguese Inquisition
Many Spanish Jews left Spain for Portugal and were later targeted there too. Many Jews were expelled from Portugal and others were forcibly converted to Catholicism.
