After the expulsion of the Jews from the peninsula, strict mechanisms of repression were established against any hint of the presence of this religion. For this control, the Inquisition was entrusted with the task. In this case, the inquisitor Digo Rodríguez Lucero led 107 people accused of being Judaisers to the stake. He was characterised by his ferocious persecution of these new Christians, and it is even claimed that he allowed a real Judaiser to instruct the accused in the prisons so that he could later accuse them. His ways and means of proceeding led Pedro Mártir de Anglería to emphasise his dark and demonically inspired character. The unpopularity of his actions led the city of Cordoba to request his expulsion. However, none of the bodies to which they appealed shared this view. Nevertheless, in 1506 the city took up arms against him, storming the inquisitorial prison while Lucero fled the city.
