The Massacre of 1391, also known as the pogroms of 1391, was a display of antisemitism and violence against Jews in Castile and Aragon. It was one of the Middle Ages' worst antisemitic outbreaks. Jews in the Iberian Peninsula at this time were generally disliked, and violence against them was common even until the 15th century.[1] The year 1391, however, marked a peak of anti-Jewish violence.[1] Facing death, many Jews converted en masse to Christianity from 1391 on.[2]
