the call forced by a band of young men, the survivors mass baptized

À Valence, le call fut forcé par une bande de jeunes gens entrés dans le quartier, et les survivants baptisés en masse. Le gouverneur tenta d'intervenir et fut débordé.

La couronne d'Aragon, qui avait jusque-là protégé ses Juifs avec constance, échoua cette fois. Le roi Jean Iᵉʳ était absent, les officiers isolés, les villes hostiles. La communauté de Valence, l'une des plus grandes du royaume, disparut entièrement : elle ne fut pas reconstituée.
