The expulsion (Isabel s02e13)
In 1492, Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon are persuaded to expel the Jews from Castile, just like it happened already in several other European countries such as France, England and Austria.
The expulsion gets back at Queen Isabella, as her Jewish private doctor, Lorenzo Badoz, who helped her in her childbirths, is also forced to leave the country.
Isabel s02e13 - What you could not defend as a man
'Isabel' is a Spanish TV series about the life of Isabella I, Queen regnant of Castile, one of the most important Spanish monarchs, from her childhood years till her death after 3 decades of ruling.

Erm, not really, the negative consequences of the expulsion are wildly exaggerated, it's part of the Spanish black legend, which btw expelled Jews contributed to create. First, the remaining Jewish community in Spain in the 15th century was not that numerous nor really wealthy, and second, most choose conversion over exile, especially the richest.

I'm so sorry. Ignorance, fanaticism, outright idiocy. The Jewish people were industrious and productive, of an enterprising nature. I would never have expelled them. Not to mention the fundamental fact that this act was ANTI CHRISTIAN in all its manifestations. What a tragedy. For what it means, I, as a true Christian, ask your forgiveness. I am not Spanish, but it is of no consequence. BTW, I just love sephardic music. I often listen to it.

Yes. The series though generally accurate didn’t want to paint its heroine in a bad way. The real explanation is that the ten year war against Granada and the inquisition changed her. The war was actually a crusade and she was reforming the church in parallel. The atmosphere in the country was very tense by the 1490s and Isabella had become more autocratic and more confident. It was a terrible injustice but it was done, not because she had become a Nazi, but because all her previous actions over twenty years had delivered her there.

I don’t know much about Spanish history, but why were the Jews expelled from Castile? In this video at least, it seems that Isabella didn’t want to expel them and felt bad for doing it; is that how she really felt in real life?

First of all, it must be emphasized that Castile and Isabella was not the only one and not the first country to expel Jews. It is also mentioned in the series. Austria, England and others had done it long before Isabella, but somehow it is Isabella's example which became the most (in)famous. How Castile and Isabella ended up feeling the necessity of expulsion is a very complex process. I'm certainly not an expert on the subject but that's what I know: Isabella was a deeply religious Christian woman who generally thought Christians better/above non-christians (religious discrimination was a common thing in the Middle Ages, but it's not so rare today either...). If she could, she would have loved to convert everyone to the Christian faith. She truly believed that it's everyone's best interest to be Christian because that is the only true faith and the only way to find eternal salvation. Castile was generally a multi-cultural and multi-religious country, incorporating areas which were reconquered from the Moors that had big Muslim population and being the refuge of the Jews expelled from other Western European countries. Such multi-cultural cohabitation was not without difficulties and caused social unrests every now and then. If you think about how much unrest multiculturality can still cause today in some areas (attacks, etc), it's not hard to imagine how silly common uneducated medieval people could behave in those days. When there was a plague, they blamed it on the "unclear" infidels, and rose up against them, etc. When you had a lot of debts to the money loaner Jews, it was easier to attacks them on religious basis than to repay your big debt. Because of the religious discrimination, sometimes lower sometimes higher, many Jews converted to Christianity and to Isabella's times their number became very huge. However, many converts still kept some Jewish customs, sometimes even unvoluntarily. Many people, especially Church men, disapproved of it and said that with their "judaized" Christan faith the converts "stain" Christianity and it's dangerous for the faith. Isabella ordered an evangelization project, to "clear" the converts' faith. It was a peaceful teaching and education project in the beginning, with peaceful people like Talavera leading it. However, it brought success very slowly. Isabella was unsatisfied with the results, and there was also a huge pressure from Rome. Rome said they would only give support to Isabella for the reconquista crusade if she didn't tolerate heresy in her kingdom. Soon she was pressed to install the Inquisition in Spain. (People might believe the Spanish invented Inquisition but that couldn't be farther from the truth. It existed long before Isabella, used against the "heretics" in many regions of Europe.) Whether Isabella planned the expulsion or the Inquisition before the 1480s or she only reached that point later, or how reluctant she was to let Rome install it, I don't know. It was installed and then started to work, becoming more and more ruthless. I don't know how well Isabella knew the inquisition's work, but it worked quite freely since she was busy with the reconquista. The inquisition was effective but not as much as expected from such a brutal tool. Soon they started to think that it would never work effectively if there wrre still Jews in the kingdom and the converts still see them practicing Jewish faith and customs day by day. As time progressed, the social unrest between Christians, converts, Jews, the Inquisition, became intolerable. As the Reconquista ended in 1492, Isabella had to put an end to the question to start to work on the integration of the newly conquered lands and people. So, in 1492, she signed the document to expel all Jews.

One country, one faith, diversity is not a strength by any means. In the case of Castile the reasons given were religious and in Aragon the document of the expulsion (only signed by Fernando) also cited usury. It was the culmination of a process of conversion of the Jewish population initiated one century earlier by force though, pushed by Rome and sanctioned by other European catholic countries that could not understand how other faiths were allowed in a christian country.

3/4 of the Jewish population converted and remained in Spain.
Of course this soon came to bite Spain as many Jews having lost their livelihoods resorted to piracy against Spain and the many enemies of Spain (most notably the Ottomans and the Dutch) utilised these displaced people. Jamaica interestingly had a large community of Portuguese Jews and they resented Spanish rule so much that when Oliver Cromwell sent an English invasion force to take the island, the Portuguese Jews welcomed them with open arms. It also helped that Cromwell was working to emancipate the Jews in England and its colonies.

Ferdinand and isabel's self righteousness is the only thing i have no tolerance for. Ferdinand keeps cheating on his wife yet he is called Ferdinand the catholic? The jews helped isabel by lending her lots of money in her conquest in return for her protection, however she decides to banish them, never to return, on pain of death. They both had so many great qualities but there arrogant self righteousness is too much to deal with.

Yes i agree that they were a super couple. That's very rare to find in history and today. The Jews were a valuable asset to castile i believe. In terms of the wealth they generated and medical skills they possessed ( Badoz ), so expelling them was pure madness. But i feel her main reasons were spiritual. She wanted to purge her land of heritics and non Catholics, she even mentions this in the video. Also, lets not forget to mention, the catholic monarchs were in a lot of debt to the jews of castile after their conquest, however they were already making big promises to a certain Mr Columbus. Spain became extremely more Catholic after her reign but moors were still present in spain as late as the 1600's i believe.
