Diego Rodríguez De Lucero
Diego Rodríguez de Lucero was a priest and inquisitor of the Kingdom of Castile based in Córdoba between 1499 and 1507. His harsh and unjust persecutions created a reign of terror, and eventually he was removed from office. Origins The birth date of Diego Rodríguez de Lucero is unknown, but he seems to have been born in Moguer. This was a region where many of the people were converts from Judaisim or Islam, which perhaps helps explain his fanaticism. His parents were Juan Lucero and Marina Rodriguez. He received a bachelor's degree in Law and a degree in Theology. He became a prelate and a canon of Seville. There is an early reference to Rodríguez de Lucero working as an inquisitor in Jerez de la Frontera, followed by a reference to him in mid-1492 in Córdoba asking for a position as a schoolmaster in Almería. He may not have got that job, but in later documents he is given the title of schoolmaster. In 1495 he was a judge of confiscated assets in Jerez de la Frontera. In ...

Auto-da-fé
An ''auto-da-fé'' ( ; from Portuguese , meaning 'act of faith'; es, auto de fe ) was the ritual of public penance carried out between the 15th and 19th centuries of condemned heretics and apostates imposed by the Spanish, Portuguese, or Mexican Inquisition as punishment and enforced by civil authorities. Its most extreme form was death by burning. History From the 8th to the 15th centuries, much of Spain was controlled by Muslims, under whose laws Jews and Christians were given dhimmi status. This meant that they were required to pay a special tax, the jizya, for "protection", intended, as Islamic legal texts indicated, to remind them of their submission. The tax was imposed on the "people of the Book", as Jews and Christians were known, to humble them. Jews could sometimes rise to important positions in the political structure; anti-Jewish violence could also erupt. In the 1066 Granada massacre, much of the Jewish population of Granada was killed by a Muslim mob. The tr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
