the quarter attacked, the survivors taking refuge in the alcazar

À Ségovie, le quartier des conversos fut attaqué ; les survivants se réfugièrent dans l'alcazar, la forteresse royale qui domine la ville.

Ségovie avait eu, quelques décennies plus tôt, une affaire d'hostie profanée imputée aux Juifs, et sa synagogue principale avait été convertie en couvent. La ville offre ainsi, en un seul lieu, les trois étapes de l'histoire du judaïsme espagnol au XVᵉ siècle : l'accusation, la conversion forcée, puis le soupçon porté sur les convertis eux-mêmes.
