The Massacre of Lisbon

A mob in our own capital, whipped into a frenzy by wandering friars preaching that the plague besetting Lisbon is God's judgment on the New Christians in its midst, has turned Lisbon's streets into a slaughterhouse. Hundreds of converso men, women, and children lie dead in the squares and doorways, and our Clergy are quietly divided on whether to condemn the killing or bless it.

historical_info = d009_sephardi_catastrophe.6.historical_info The Lisbon massacre of April 1506 began when Dominican friars blamed New Christians for a drought and plague then afflicting the city, and lasted three days before royal troops finally intervened. Estimates of the dead range from under two thousand to well over three thousand, and the massacre so alarmed King Manuel I that he issued edicts afterward formally protecting New Christians from further mob violence, though the underlying suspicion of them never fully subsided.
