Abstract:
Disputes the idea that in Portugal in the 15th century relationships between Jews and Christians were peaceful. The socioeconomic roots of Jew-hatred may explain attempts of the masses to blame the Conversos for the plague, but this social development was moderated by the conciliatory attitude of the kings of Portugal. Nevertheless, because of Church pressure, the Crown would not postpone the decree of expulsion in 1498.
