Iberian pogroms: Seville's juderia destroyed
June 1391
Inflamed by the preaching of Archdeacon Ferrand Martinez, a Sevillian mob attacked the Jewish quarter, killing perhaps four thousand and forcing tens of thousands more into baptism. The riots spread to Cordoba, Toledo, Valencia, and Barcelona in a wave of violence lasting months. Iberian Jewry never recovered. The conversos created a new social problem for Spain.
