The legend provoked a large movement for reparation, and this auto-de-fe was publicized throughout Europe.

Many Conversos fled to other countries. Discusses the political context of the auto-de-fe, focusing on the confrontation between the modernizing government of King Felipe IV and the Inquisition.»
