The first part of this article describes the Jewish community of the Beira Interior region of Portugal and of the village of Trancoso. The edict of expulsion in 1506 resulted in most of the Jews converting, willingly or forcibly. Some Jews escaped to other countries. Those who remained built up a very prosperous Converso community, which soon entered into competition with the Old Christians. The prosperity lasted until the introduction of the Inquisition in 1536. The second part of the article describes the consequences of the establishment of the Inquisition. It caused the decline of the rich and influential Converso families of the city. Many of them became poor others were sentenced to prison or degraded with the imposition of wearing special clothing to ridicule them. The assets of those condemned to death were confiscated. Several Converso families escaped to other cities in the region or in the Kingdom, and several dispersed through Europe or even to other continents. Includes a list of Conversos denounced to the Inquisition. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism - The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) |
