Expelled former Muslims Felipe from Spain III.ak
415
years ago
04 April 1609,
Former Muslims Felipe III.ak were expelled from Spain. The inquisition was conceived by the Catholic Monarchs with the objective of achieving religious uniformity, but considering that the ancient Muslims did not fulfill Christianity as they were asked to, they ordered to expel from the country, demonstrating strength and shaking the flag of Christianity. For two years those who were "good Christians" and the Muslim wives of the old Christians could remain. Nearly 300,000 citizens had to leave everything, 4% of the state population. The fact caused great shock in society at the time.
