several hundred conversos reconciled in penitential procession, the relapsed handed over to the stake

L'Inquisition de Tolède ouvrit ses travaux par une série de grandes processions pénitentielles : des centaines de conversos, tête nue et cierge à la main, y furent réconciliés, condamnés à porter le san-benito et privés de toute charge publique. Ceux qui furent jugés relaps furent livrés au bûcher.

La réconciliation n'était pas une grâce : elle valait aveu, et un aveu la condamnait à mort en cas de rechute. Elle frappait aussi les descendants, exclus des offices et des ordres. Le tribunal disposait ainsi d'un moyen d'atteindre, par le droit, ce que l'émeute d'Andalousie avait cherché par le feu.
