the Crown closes its borders to returnees from 1492

La Couronne ferma les frontières de Castille et de León aux Juifs et bannit les convertis condamnés par l'Inquisition. Il s'agissait d'empêcher le retour des expulsés qui, n'ayant trouvé nulle part où aller, revenaient se faire baptiser pour rentrer chez eux.

Ce mouvement de retour est mal connu et fut considérable : une part notable des exilés revint dans les années qui suivirent, préférant la conversion à l'errance. Ils grossirent la population de nouveaux chrétiens que l'Inquisition surveillait, et beaucoup finirent devant elle, jugés pour avoir gardé ce qu'ils avaient cru pouvoir quitter.
