The Expulsion of the Jews from Navarre was decreed in 1498 by John III of Navarre and Catherine of Navarre under pressure from Ferdinand II of Aragon.[1]

Exiled Jews from Castile and Aragon sought refuge in Navarre after 1492 in places such as Tudela,[2] thereby forking the Navarrese jewry into judíos nativos ('native Jews') and judíos nuevamente venidos ('newly arrived Jews').[3] The order of expulsion set a March 1498 deadline, offering Jews the choice of leaving or converting to Christianity.[4] Having no easy way out of landlocked Navarre, most Jews converted and remained in the kingdom.[5] New Christians and their descendants thrived in 16th- and 17th-century Navarre.[6]
