There are several cases of Jews who upon fleeing Iberia turned to attacking the Empire's shipping, a profitable strategy of revenge for the Inquisition's religious persecution.

The sixteenth-century chronicler Francisco Lopez Gomarra argued that he was named so because he once escaped from an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
