Note 170 — Chapter XXX · A.D. 1500-1600. THE JEWS IN PORTUGAL, SPAIN, AND HOLLAND.
Reading edition
Charles, throughout his reign, was harsh and stern in his dealings with the Jews. His private secretary, Solomon Maleho, who had been an enforced convert to Christianity, afterwards returned to his old belief, and tried to convert the Emperor to it. The latter handed him over to the secular arm at Mantua, and he was burned at the stake.
