Necesidad y rechazo del otro. Situación de judíos y conversos en el reino castellano durante los siglos XIV y XV

Abstract

The peninsular Jewish community of the late medieval centuries is an object of study that can be approached from multiple perspectives, be it from the accusations towards it due to the Black Death, the monarchs’ need for money or the contempt of Christian debtors towards moneylenders hebrews. The events in the last few years of the XIV century constitute the culmination of an already existing violence and the dawn of what would happen at the end of the following century, the final moment of a difficult otherness that the converts were not able to wade through either.
