Don't worry, Jewbacca. They'll permit a few Jews to stick around as merchants and moneylenders so they'll have someone without any legal defense to squeeze money from when the monarchy's coffers are empty.

Those medieval kingdoms -- bastions of liberty for gentile and jew alike, don't ya know./SARC

The effect of the Spanish pogrom against Jews was pretty telling -— within a generation or so, the once-great Spanish kingdom fell to ruins.

Happens when you kick out your good generals, engineers, navigators, and destroy trade and merchants.

I am particularly amused by the fact a self-decribed “Texan” would be pushing a papal state when the first stated purpose of the Texas Revolution was freedom of religion for Protestants and Jews, both for theologic reasons and to be free of the financial corruption and decay that was the Roman Church in Mexico at the time.
