Toledo, siglos XII-XV. La coexistencia de cristianos (latinos y mozárabes), musulmanes y judíos. Una síntesis

Abstract

During four centuries Christians (of Roman and Visigothic rite), Muslims and Jews coexisted in the city of Toledo. But such coexistence, before its tragical end, went through many changes and vicissitudes. While Mozarabs (arabized Christians of Visigothic rite), who had been dominant in the city for a long period of time, mingled with Spanishspeaking and Roman Christians, Muslims (Mudejars), who were always scarce, experienced a climax in the 14th Century, before losing ground and being marginalized in the 15th Century. As regards Jews, their high position in money trade made them the perfect focus for popular disgrace and anger, especially in the 14th and 15th Century, after they converted to Christianism, frankly or in simulated manner.
