Note 155 — Chapter XXVII · A.D. 1400-1500. THE JEWS IN SPAIN—continued.
Reading edition
The wholesale butchery of the Autos da Fé, as these executions were called, is one of their most shocking features. On the 4th of November, 1481, three hundred Jews were burned in Seville, and in other parts of the same province two thousand more. In Saragossa the two surviving inquisitors avenged the assassination of their colleague by two hundred deaths at the stake.
