 The most intense period of persecution of "conversos" lasted until 1530.From 1531 to 1560, however, the percentage of "conversos" among the Inquisition trials dropped to 3% of the total.There was a rebound of persecutions when a group of crypto-Jews was discovered in Quintanar de la Orden in 1588 and there was a rise in denunciations of "conversos" in the last decade of the sixteenth century.
